THE SKY, THE LIGHT, MY BRAMBLES
October
is autumn’s landscape.
Early,
its dark blanket covers night.
Slowly,
comes morning sky. A flaming jewel.
Rolling ruby rivers of light.
I woke,
and sat on the edge of day, watched
the black kettle night shy away.
Shadows lift.
Away my down-trodden brambles.

Lovely poem, dusk to dawn of October. I particularly like “A flaming jewel.
Rolling ruby rivers of light.”

This is lovely… and to sit watching the dawn like that is perfect…the black kettle night made me think of morning coffee

Such a comfort in the ending. This part is just stunning:
Slowly,
comes morning sky. A flaming jewel.
Rolling ruby rivers of light.
