October Near

Feelings about changing leaves

Death of the land and the turning of fall leaves
gray sky and darker night shade-
in my shade I see the changing of the leaves
out from the pain my heart grows like seeds
-gray sky and darker night shade
In the morning sun
In the morning sun I got away
go on and turn the page
on the wind blows the October near
in the morning sun
have I lost all my fears?

I truly enjoyed your poem! Nice imagery you create with your words!
The fall brings about a certain gloom as the cycle of death and rebirth commence, I am feeling it especially strong this year.
I see it as a time, to let go of old and outdated thoughts, ideas and beliefs that prevent us from growth. As the winter freezes them away, we can plant new thoughts, when the frost lifts and they sprout up and rise in the spring to become better thoughts and beliefs!
Thank you for sharing!

great imagery - life and death, day and night. Good read.
