October Light

The bright blue October sky brings welcome warmth

Once the late rising sun melts the morning chill

As the afternoon kindles lingering memories of summer

Such perfect weather for our active life.

Some days we move easily almost effortlessly

Feeling energy flow into our steps from every cell

Aware of our bodies evolved from ancient ancestor species

As we transport ourselves enjoying being alive.

Though some days the symptoms of age impinge

Suddenly a twinge flares that demands attention

How a spasm can constrict consciousness

Compelling us to wait for the sensation to let go.

And some days the human construct that frames our lives

Surrounds us with contradictions impossible to deny

The oppression of systematic injustice shouts against

All the ways that science has advanced civilization.

As the gathering crisis touches every facet of daily life

In our brief moment in the great sweep of the universe

As these days tumble together for us marking another year

For me being with you makes every day good.
