I feel September
In my bones
The cool air of Autumn
On my skin
The colour of Summer
On my face
And peace within
The youth grown suddenly tall
Returning in the joy of festival freedom
A church bell tolls
The passing of the Hours
The turning of the days
And night lengthening
It will soon be time
To go inside
With quiet reflection
New lessons learned
And all things gathered
To the fire and to the soul
The warmth that keeps us
Through dark seasons
New beginnings and fresh hope
