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
