 A Month in Autumn - 05


Song for September

 

So many songs for September.

A change of weather, a change of heart,

Questioning the future, preparing to depart?

 

Frank smiling gently as he nears September,

The warm September of his years,

A metaphor for growing old he volunteers.

 

Maybe September love will come again,

Smooth Tony croons to find a wife.

Round it goes, the eternal circle of life.

 

Reminisce over September in the rain,

As Dinah’s velvet vocals signal a change.

Rainstorms forecast it is time to rearrange.

 

Wistful September brings introspection

And Kurt writes how the days grow short
When you reach September, a last resort?

 

September – a time for reflection, ageing, hibernation,

The autumn of your life. Still time for re-evaluation.

And the days dwindle down, to a precious few, September.
