October - A Murmur in the Trees... 💛

A Murmur in the Trees — to note —

Not loud enough — for Wind —

A Star — not far enough to seek —

Nor near enough — to find —

 

A long — long Yellow — on the Lawn —

A Hubbub — as of feet —

Not audible — as Ours — to Us —

But dapperer — More Sweet —

 

A Hurrying Home of Little Men

To Houses unperceived —

All this — and more — if I should tell —

Would never be believed — Emily Dickinson

 

 

I remember sitting in class one day… it was October 1997, and suddenly, it dawned on me that October is the most beautiful and romantic month of the year! Every year before October comes, I always think that that feeling has gone away, but then I get dressed for fall and go outside, and there it is, that teenage infatuation waiting for me just outside the door of October first!
