NOVEMBER ELEGY

The trees stand calm and tranquil in repose
Rehearsing now the waiting that’s ahead
‘til breaths of air  unloose their amber clothes
To drift in swirling fall to woodland bed
They rage not, but embrace the pass of light
As they go gentle into that good night

An air of waiting holds the spirit still
No urgency to make the final shedding
Though next life-phase is sanctioned with a will
As tawny blanket spreads new forest bedding
They’ll rage not at the passing of the light
As gently they go into that good night

As winter sleep brings time to rest and heal
Perchance to dream of sunlit summer days
When clothed in deepest green they saw the field
Of life prolific lived in all its ways 
No thought of darkness, relishing the light
Long days of wakeful life, no fear of night

Perhaps the trees teach lessons to remember
Of life repeating cycles brief and long
Our seasons’ move to end - our dark December
That shall precede Spring rebirth new and strong
Why rage against the dying of the light
Time to sleep and dream in that good gentle night
