Something about October

Something about October
The air washes over me
In its soft breeze
Lifting my spirit high
And opening my heart

Something about October
The still water calls to me
In its gentile waves
Allowing trust to open me
I can fall

Something about October
The loose ground absorbs me
Standing strong below
I can only be steadied
Showing my full strength

Something about October
Flames burn hotter
Hurting the flesh less
Reminding me how to dance
Igniting me within

I Was Asked

I was asked how I know
How I could be so sure

They insisted I was wrong
But provided no proof
That they were right

I have moments, I see them
In the person
I saw it in you
Staring me in the eye

I am sure
I have been here before
Seen the body language
And the sigh in the voice
I know, You don’t like me
