Come November

A wind, sharp and cold
Leaves the trees shaven,
Of such colors bold
Yet, in my mind are graven

Come November days
Less sunlight remains, 
Where it stayed and plays
Filtering, as it drains

Through amber waves
Leaving my heart warm,
In my memory saves
Before the first snowstorm 

Be it white by morning 
No more gold and red,
Be it winter's warning 
That autumn is almost dead

Come November nights 
Stiffened by the chill,
The dappled sunlights 
Cling to my soul still.

Thank you for such a lovingly written poem. I can see that it tells how there is hope for a little bit of light from the sun, but it doesn't last. It's tinged with sadnes, alongside the hope. I'm impressed.

A beautiful goodbye to Autumn days and the coming winter. Our memory of dappled sunlight sustains us through winter. SuZ

Kelly, This one touches. So much in a cold November's chill. Boldly foretelling of frosty nights to come. Waiting for the return of sun. -Richard
