October Orchid

     It's October again....

     that "nostalgic month dressed in flame and gold"

     with "memories in sharp relief tucked among the

     coloured leaves of each Thanksgiving season."

     Memories of my loved one whose life was boisterous

     and colourful as this windy day with 

     the fiery sumac, the orange maple, the golden birch,

     scattering their finery in an exuberant farewell.


  
     In the warm stillness of my study

     orchid blooms appear on my screen - 

     delicate white, velvet light, a hint of rose, a crimson thread, a sunny gold...

     I ponder the contrast of my window scene

     with the one on my computer screen

     and see a reflection of his life as he lived it here

     in a riot of animated activity,

     and as his spirit lives now, in perfect peace,

     eternal love, and purity.
