| November Wind |
| November wind tugging my leaves despite the blinding sun November wind You sting my skin and bring the cold to come I remember still those summer nights and the springtime of my days Those memories will stay with me and warm me through this phase The sky above is streaked with gray the supple leaf now withers The coolness of the rushing wind once brought relief, now I shiver November wind Comes blowin' in Ready or not, uninvited With winter following on its heels My season's end I've sighted Gray streaks transform to silver snow while color fades away The frigid air makes motions slow and night outweighs the day But be not sad nor worrisome for all of us have seen the promise of a life renewed will follow in the spring |
