Winds whistle through thinning pines
Invincible to the rapidly chilling air
November leaving for the next
Turning the page for the season
Extinguishing whatever warmth
Remaining from the sunlight
Intrepid is the lingering
Scent of pumpkin spice
Culminating at the bottoms of plastic cups
Overflowing with whipped cream
Millions of scratching pens
Inking letters to mythical figures
Nighttime turning darker sooner still
Giving way to shorter days
Time moves faster in the sunlight
Over hills and snowy white peaks
Daunting in their splendorous heights
Attune to the harmonious songs we sing
Yearning for springtime that is long yet to come

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
