November Eyes by Elizabeth Shivering in the autumn air Of one more November He draws his coat around himself As he begins to remember. Crying in his heart Yet a smile lights his face Able to hide the pain he feels Because tears leave no trace. November's breeze blows-- Gentle one minute, the next, wild. He is not alone She's watching him, and then she smiled. One month can contain so much November is never tame She lived through it once already with him They'll never be the same. He doesn't seem to notice her But she's always by his side Warming him from November's air And feelings the tears he's cried. Love and pain, tears and smiles Secrets and truth and lies All contained inside them Reflected in their blue November eyes. 11-30-03 All Rights Reserved © Copyright 2003 Elizabeth Costello.
