Cold November Day

trees barren and laden clouds
on a cold november day
the waves are high
and waters murky

still so solemn
our bench a relic
the raging river faces

the mistiness
of a distant memory
not letting go
though seems so long ago

Nice imagery, Line, and whoa, would I give anything to see a bench or 'water murky'---what with Lake Michigan starting to freeze over in places with the cold snap going on... Thanks for the memories. :) gw

I think I'm still in that atmosphere and it's no longer November!

I wish the feeling would come and go at will, ML. No such luck.

"our bench a relic".....you can never go back. I have tried, and it is never the same, my friend, even when you hope it might be.
