October is falling, 
Paints the leaves with her colors
The pine scented wind, rose splashed cheeks
The rings of fresh breath on cool air
The orange gibous moon 
Casts light on cow huddled pastures
The glisten of frost on old stalks
The crispness of air fills each breath
The smell of the first falling snowfall
I wish on the first evening star
As I dance in a moonbeam 
searching to find the Big Dipper
Find a direction.
Whispering secrets
In the night

Night of night
Brings a silence unheard
Silent sounds 
Sinking deeper than words
October is falling
Is falling October
October is falling
In time

I celebrate morning´s light
I celebrate being
The violin´s song fills my ears
I ponder on moments long gone
Those "God Bless" of partings
Or the meanings of last words
Reflecting on moments, I smile
The oneness of all comes to be
The spirits of past in the present
October is falling to bring
With her hope for the springtime
Song of the whippoorwill calls out
Cries through the evening,
Whispering secrets
In the night

Night of night
Brings a silence unheard
Silent sounds 
Sinking deeper than words
October is falling
Is falling October
October is falling
In time
