October Winds

by Sondra Ball

October winds are magical,
full of wondering notes:
the whirring of red maple leaves
above the pastured goats,
the tossing of dry cat-tails
among brown grass and reeds,
the shaking of thin spider webs
from fern and fence and tree.
Now is the time when lovers
walk down bright colored trails.
They laugh at simple wonders,
and share each other's tales.
