The kindness of September

Some words.

The kindness of September

Our Michigan home is ready for the nocturnal rest and

I watched you look at the change of color with my adoring eyes.

I encircle my arms around you and I whispered to you.

You love the whiskey, you love the discussion of all things.

We love the war of words,

the war of emotions,

you are my fire, my warmest days.

You make calm life, a ocean storm.

You smiled and you tried to touch a butterfly.

You turned to me and you whispered.

We can rest when we are gone,

we don’t need locked doors and accepting just enough.

The kindness of Spring teaches us,

a careful flower live forever and love is ever growing.

You are loud voice and you love dancing with the sea, and

I am quiet storm seeking some kind of utopia in a messy world.

We found salvation in each other eyes.

The September cooler breeze touches open skin and

two lovers rose-up and dance with the flowing leaves of the Fall.

I've always loved your work, Coyote. It's been a while since I've been back to this place, and the first thing I think to do is see how you're doing. As always, you share a piece of yourself in your writing that makes me think of the wisdom in your eyes to know yourself and others. Lovely writing; appreciate it :)

you are making the inevitable move toward fall very meaningful. I do love fall but don't mind also enjoying some of spring and summer's kindness.

A loud voice and a quiet storm...and yet they found salavation in each other. Theirs is a beauty of spirit that complements each other. The result is this beautiful dance of September that defies the earthly seasons and becomes forever ingrained on a soul. Love your poetry sir!

Lovely
I see the seasons within a person
Or are you admiring nature and personified it into a person
I love the imagery and flow of the poem

Nature is beautiful and i believe it has drawn out all forms of art to be explored

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree dear Serene. Each part of our life are seasons. When we are young, we are the Spring and one day we shall know the Winter of a life. Thank you for reading and the comment.
