Weather is turning kinder
October blowing through
A breeze on cooler evenings
Coffee with morning dew
The burdens that we carry
Don’t seem as heavy now
The kinder weather lending
A hopeful breath somehow
Been listening to Springsteen
“There’s a joke here somewhere”
Been reading Wendell Berry
Bukowski and Voltaire
Been spending time in nature
And putting down my phone
Relishing what remains, while
Still lamenting what’s gone
There’s greedy politicians
And greedy preachers, too
If we fight with each other
We don’t see what they do
The emperor is naked
Does anybody care
Resistance is forbidden
Does anybody dare
Weather is turning kinder
The days are growing short
Distraction is in style now
There’s things they won’t report
Just fall in step and file now
Soon doth come December
What summer has forgotten
Autumn will remember
