Oh Come, You, October Life

August is nearly over.
Thank God.
I have had about enough of this summer.
The mornings are fresh with new air, heavenly dew, and the scent of fall.
October is near.
We have yet but one more month for this journey.
Then you and I find ourselves another year older, another year wiser, and and another year apart.
My thoughts are never far from you, my heart still misses you.
I saw your name in an address today.
So many things to remind me of you.
It has been a while since we have spoken.
I always worry about you at this time of year.
You, like me, start falling with the season.
The trees change their color.
The earth changes it's light.
The skies are low and misty.
This is where life begins.
It is our time.
It is our moment.
Revive me, oh, October life.
Strengthen me.
Make me lift up my face and see the October sun.
Bring him back to me that I might see him, oh, just a glimpse, a moment.
Make it long.
Make it slow.
Take my beating heart and make it quiet as the stillness of a soul in love, loud with passion.
Free me of my summer pain.
Oh October life, I will stand here waiting for you to love me still.
Be this, the year of change.
The year of life begun.
Awake my soul, you have slept too long.
Oh come, you, October life, and love me.
