Today's Song and Pictures - October Light

One of my favorite songs is October Light by Robin and Linda Williams. There isn't a video of them singing it so I'm going to share the words, along with some photos of my own October light. There really is nothing like it. This evening there was a gentle rain falling as I took the pictures, and soon a rainbow appeared.

Each day we walk upon the hill

to watch the setting sun 

play on the trees and fields until

it falls and day is done.

Yellow, orange, blue, and rose  

The colors neon bright.

The evening sky is all aglow

with this October light.

We sit together in the swing

Our faces to the west

and talk of what tomorrow will bring

and what today has left.

We trace the dimming day

as dusk breaks to night

So we don’t miss a single ray

of this October light.

Oh, the long, dark shadows eulogize

the sun fleeing southward in the sky

‘cause there ain’t no saving daylight

when the tenth month comes around.

September memories take flight

as heaven’s lamp turns down.

So we feast on eventide

‘cause November’s chilling bite 

is waiting on the other side

of this October light.

The evening sky is all aglow

with this October light.

We don’t want to miss a single ray

of this October light.

October Light
