September, because

you honor our workers,

amongst the year’s ending embers

you are my special

love though you have not

the great celebrations

as November has

the giving of thanks

and December has

the Lord’s birth

day to honor his

life and perhaps

serve as a day of

reconciliation for mortals

as they plan their resolutions

ere the new year begins

 

But September,

between you and those

who end the year lies

October with a final

day of dedication

to all that’s fearful,

but yet, also to collecting

candy door to door

 

Still, October has

a character unto itself

not found in even

December’s year’s ending

 

It portends the earthly

and eternal harvest

home – a temporal end,

but an everlasting

beginning granted as

reward for mortal lives

lived well for their Master

A wonderful poem pointing out all of the high points of autumn, arguably the favorite season for those in the temperate climates because of the harvest and the changing of forest color and other beauty like cool weather.

It is interesting that the high points you mentioned are holy days. Our holidays. Generally in the past, when it turned cooler, everyone had to work a lot harder to bring in the harvest before winter set in. Time off was only granted during an hour or two for church. Seeking more free time, we invented the holidays so that laborers, honored today, Labor Day, could at least have a day or two with family to worship and enjoy everyone being together. That still exists, but we look at it a bit differently now for many reasons I won't go into. Probably the worst example is so many using those days for shopping-feeding our consumer habit.
