Ticket 2 Ride

Cold blows swirling leaves

Gray falls from the sky

Life changes temperature

Daylight says goodbye

Spirits sprout festive

Arriving earlier each year

Beyond the sparkly lights

Disappearing into the gloom

Some in their habitat

Others inside themselves

November brings reflection

Of ourselves and experience

We must keep the fire blazing

To carry us into spring

The clouds may be sad

Winds sapping our strength

Alone in our thoughts

But alive with our dreams
