Thoughts of November

Thoughts of November

I drift in thoughts November
as I sit in peace of mind.

A blue sky spreads over the town;
Way over the browns and greens
of fading leaves,

And the people are much more quiet,
The earth is falling asleep.

Now the children play in the street.

With bright smiles on their faces--
mud staining their laces;
walking beneath a heavy, setting sun.
Laughing, playing, singing....The school year's just begun.

Day comes late, and settles back early,
as night pulls it under a burning sky.
And the half moon sits low in the horizon,
very broad and cold to my eyes.
Lunar bright, with the suns far distant light;
And the stars are more pretty, when its
cold at night.
Icy diamonds in a sea of jet;
Its time to go inside

but not just yet,

Let me drift...in thoughts of November.
