This Fleeting Grandeur

Don’t sleep! October is here!
Her golden moments sing, you know, then,
like some exquisite aria, quickly fade away.

Some grandeur is too great to linger.
It sears the mind and memory and is gone
as if it were some glimpse of heaven,
a vision made of hope in a near-forgotten dream.

But this is no illusion. This is a gift of the Yes,
the pinnacle of its rolling seasons,
the fulfillment of their promises to you, given in love.

Stay awake. Let this beauty etch itself into your heart
to feed you for all of your days.
