AS AUTUMN CLOSES DOWN HER REVELRY

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

WRITTEN BY S.C.MITCHELL

OCTOBER 2013.



The evening sun shone as one great golden orb - whose
Light - dappled through the nets - on glass - of pristine white -
Danced as with an unseen angel - like a melody of water colours
Ever changing from the crystal hanging - to reflect the delicate and 
Transluscent glorious sight - of every shade of deepest hues of blues
And reds and creamy whites - to bring its fading cheer - and herald in 
The coming cooler nights .

Such bliss - to sit and ponder at another closing day - and muse on all
That has transpired - with no words of any consequence to say - and yet - 
With gratitude that all is well - as well can be - in looking back as Autumn 
Closes down her revelry - and bids adieu to all - and - with just a flicker of a 
Smile she bows - and blows a kiss  - and bids farewell to 
You and me . 

Now darker nights and shorter days walk in the door - as if to say - We're
Here again - so - I suggest you settle down - without complaint or furrowed
Frown - nor give dis-ease a place to make its bed - or think it has a right to
Rest its most unwelcome head - until the days turn once again to Spring - but
Cast him out - and look the coming winter months full in the face - and lift
Your voice and sing . 

We do not need to be controlled by winter's darkest ploy  - nor  give way and
Time unto the shadows of despair - that steal our joy - but raise our cup and 
Drink a toast for all the blessings we have known this passing year - where
Life and love and health have been the portion of so
Many here .

If that is not the case - then I still say - Don't fret - there may be happier
Days ahead - and even yet - the past is past with all its shadowlands of
Murky  blacks  and greys - that may have left - for some - no pleasant 
Memories for the heart and mind to speak of kindly or replay - But - all 
In all  we have so much of which to say  - I am alive - and so for that 
 Alone  - we can give thanks - today and 
Everyday .

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""


For those who live alone or have not had an easy year the changes from
Autumn to winter can cause a certain amount of dread ...the nights are 
closing in and everything can look bleak ...but for you in particular I 
pray that this winter time  will be a happier time for you ...

May God bless you all 

With Love and Peace.
