On a cold November morning Frost wrapped the world in an ashy hue Sucking the heart from silence As an optimistic sun gazed through Naked branches of oak and maple Peeking through the limbs of gray Lighting the indigo skies with grace Dancing, flowing, praising In waves of enchantment, such riches Radiating warmth and awaking The crackle of leaves, stunned By the bitter air, the chilling stare Of freezing sparkles on thoughts Met by the luster of dawn Revelations caress the mind Of those who listen to the pulsations Rumbling through the thoughts Echoes of dreams, dulled By reality’s dark plans for the one Who listens to shadowy feelings Deprived of hope or faith Lingering on the edges of silhouettes Who dread the moment, stirring To life – the sense of delight Inspiration and insight Peppering the darkness in joy Pleasures like seeds who’ll be growing Love, the anointing Of a life full of glory A frosted November Sunday Breathless and murky with hues Of obscure inklings twinkling Like the hesitating stars On a quiet night Flooded with desires, dreams Amazed by the creation Blessed by His presence Even here – among the thorns Who hasten to bite soft flesh With frozen barbs, like wire Bringing the ooze Of crimson flowing over Icy cool thoughts Enriching the heart With feelings from a deep Longing, a need For the belief that imagines Love is forever A never ending feeling Forever giving Never leaving Always satisfying On a cold and vibrant November morning Love melts the heart Who is yearning for the promise Of a feeling that brings Joy beyond words, more alive Than the dance that inspires Poets to write, artists to paint As hearts unite To share their life!
