It was one of those fine October days 
free from summer’s heat and haze 
but not yet gripped by autumn chill. 
 
It was one of those fine October days 
when the sky’s so clear 
you can see the moon  
through the atmosphere 
at midday. 
 
It was one of those fine October days 
when the trees sport yellow and red  
instead of everyday summer green. 
 
It was one of those fine October days 
when one draws a deep breath  
and is grateful 
to be resident on Earth.
Richard Greene
