May we remember
with gladdened hearts,
moments of beauty -
awe and/or mirth.
In anticipation
with respectful pause,
moments ahead seem
open and gracious.
May we be ready
with confident glances,
moments away are
beckoning welcome.
In acceptance
and graceful movement,
a season enters
beautifully timed.
'tis now
October.
