Spellbound in October
The air is cool, crisp and fresh. September passes into the days of October and we experience the enchanting days of autumn. It is a time for dark grey days, a night sky with stars and a very full moon with a magical glimmer. We ride bicycles down the trail. Everywhere I go, the apples have bloomed and the scent fills the air. I carry a basket of apples home and drink a glass of sweet apple cider. The air also fills with the scent of warm spices like cinnamon, giving us a sense of warmth. I make some pretty paper masks that look like decorated spectacles. It is a time of mystery and disguise. Shakespeare created many characters of women in disguise and women in different clothing. The wonderful character of Horatio makes me think about a statesman in disguise; someone who can make a better world. The candles give a soft light. I make all kinds of pretty lanterns, and the light from the lanterns glow. It is not the glaring electric lights. Mystery books are piled on my desk and I sit in an armchair to read them (especially Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christy and the scenes of mystery in Shakespeare's plays). While I walk through the trails and paths of autumn days,. The leaves dance like fairies and elves in the strong autumn wind. Far away, in the path of the forest, in the light and the shadows as I walk, I hear the rhythm and music of the hundreds of leaves beneath my feet. The harvest moon is always so bright and so full. October is a time to see hundreds of warm and bright orange pumpkins. The cold winter days will be coming, and a little bit of warmth from the sun feels wonderful. It is a time when the year is ending and the holy evening and All Souls Day, a time to pray. I will pray for the people who passed away. In autumn evenings I take the beautiful warm dresses out and wear some pretty glittering slippers and some sparkling brooches, and I go out to my garden. My friends and me, we sit down, under the moon, and we tell scary ghost stories. When I look at the evening sky and the moon, we may see some enchanting creatures such as a fairy, an elf, or a magical witch (a good witch, not a bad one). I think of supernatural creatures such as ghosts and jinns. Whatever spells imagination will cast on me, I will always remember that spells, chants, and prayer should be good and to protect us from evil and evil spirits. A spell of love, a spell of charm, a spell of magical enchantment, a spell of peace. The candles are glowing, the lanterns give a halo of light, the moon shines like a perfect round lantern. I think about better kings, queens, fathers, a ghost and a wonderful attendant lord, named Horatio. We feel the fear, we overcome the fear and light a candle; we laugh and then smile and drink a glass of sparkling sweet apple cider. The autumn night is magical and beautiful.
