October delivered November
A wild storm bookended October
Battered the trees and our home
On a stormy night that improbably
Yielded a soft and serene dawn.
November has arrived all gentle
A pretty morning wrapped up in the sun
The sky is blue, the air is soft
Slowly warming after the morning chill.
All is forgiven, forgotten
We gather the leaves from the lawn
The hungry sun still seeking out
A corner the shadows haven’t conquered.
This season when daylight is squeezed
We yearn for the sun like the trees
Seizing each sun drop
Caressing each moment.
Fearing the day when the sun
Fails to clear the house beside us
And we are in shade’s prison
Dark and cold til Spring comes around.
Where will we find the bright courage
To face these months when despair
Threatens to haunt and to freeze us
The strength to reach March once again?
