A November To Remember

Summer dreams sleep at the cusp of a cool November I am filled with hopes that at the font of my soul, tremble like autumn leaves when the wind blows they toss and sway like sweet October rain, each raindrop falls but doesn't stay I remember red poppies, springing out of the ground in a place called Flanders Fields, my how they slept so sound after the gunfire a silence rooted so deep we closed the door after the anthem of doom, the world said " no more " A November to remember, make it your thanksgiving season find new breath, be brave, show loyalty not treason like the first cool feel that touches you at the first snowfall like the first real kiss that says I love you, it is your call ! I remember those who died before me and I cannot ignore the red poppies that are strewn across the gravesite floor I could never, no never forget them nor their brave roar I could never, no never forget, ...it was a time of war !

Ah a deep and beautiful tribute to the heroes of War Vie, to honour those who served and died for their country in all wars - Remembrance and hope for a peaceful future. 'Lest We Forget'. Peace will be like the 'first real Kiss' you mentioned. Hugs Maria

"find new breath, be brave, show loyalty not treason" -- we need to not forget, and change our cycles for ourselves and the good of humanity -- the door is open, pure light shinning out -- we must take the step -- Christ is usher and not a jailer.

Always take a step towards Christ and watch the light spangle the night, inside and out !

Gosh, this moved my soul, dear Rose... Such a heart-aching, poignant and nostalgic poem this is! The melancholic sights of those living in their end with their brave roars... can never be forgotten. How a storm of war can change everything...I felt the ache and emotions that you've carefully knitted in this piece. Their souls may have left this soil but their valour and essence can't ever be erased. I absolutely loved reading this, as always, your work is worthy of all the accolades..sending you love & light always. This is a FAVE!
