The Watch-Man

Hey look, Jack is back!
He comes around when the wind begins to sound
and a whisper of a chill is the current thrill
Known by many, there are not any
who know him the same way
Some see him grieve while others perceive him as relieved
No one really knows how many sides he shows
But he is always there whether there is fear or cheer
In fact, Jack has a intense impact on those he knows
especially when a light glows
It is at night, by candle light
when he is most keen and best seen
He is the watch-man at night when colored leaves are in flight
So if you intend to visit a friend and the hour is late
you may see Jacks light illuminate
But do not fixate on the glow which he will show
Just smile hello
or, go-slow
depending on if his face
will embrace or deface
