October Clouds

~Erlich

Something about October clouds
Makes it so hard to try
Wind in the boughs, rain pouring down
The days run away from the sky
Catches me cold, no matter how old
Makes me afraid for my time
Why should a year usher in fear?
Why am I always surprised?
But you get through
Ease my eyes and feed me summer
December days always so grey
Hills are all frozen and brown
Awake before light, drive through the night
Home with the sun going down
But you get through
Ease my eyes and feed me summer
