and cheerful orange pumpkins
Behind the deep blue autumn sky
Deep within the chambers
of my heart and soul
I feel the pull of melancholy
Begging for expression
Asking to be named
And I must go
Embrace these open chasms
Darkness, grief, death and sadness
Cold and barren trees.
I know this truth is
Just as much a part of me
As golden leaves
and sunshine
I feel His wings around me
and I face the
coming winter.
