Before fall expires Oct. 18, 2025

  

We never went back; at least, not yet, the chill that arrived with the rain lingers on even with the return of sunlight, the hope for an Indian summer fading with each sinking degree, we needing coats, if not yet gloves, to venture out into the world, the dread of what will come next, through I suspect, I will stroll through this at that time when the leaves changes, to feel it down deep in my bones, this end of something that leads to a moment when we can look ahead to new beginnings, with fall tumbling into the cruelest months before we can feel warmth again, this late day in mid-autumn when the world seems strangely at peace, we not quite able to predict exactly what will transpire, only guesses and dreams that might come real.
