The Joys of October
Peer into the mirrors of nocturnal lightInspire the cold of autumn's nightA blissful tingling in my headLike stars ringing in the ebb --In the ebb and flow of my soulThe sound of thunder begins to rollPreceded in a bolt of Nature's furyThe eve of twilight falls onto the aerieWhere eagles in dreams retireGlowing embers from a lonely campfireFlutter like fireflies with wondrous gleamCup my hands upon the streamA sip for me, the rest for Goddess EarthBehold the aurora shimmering in the northO Polar Star, direct my final journey homeBig Bear at my side, no longer am I alone
