November

Trees lose their parched lips--
shriveled, cracked and bleeding.
Leaving behind gentle kisses on frozen ground.
Rich hues of autumn 
but I'm left me color blind.
On this pitch dark afternoon,
I feel my way across a dying city,
climb into bed, and sleep.

I dream of sunlight.

Truly beautiful in it metaphor, Anamika. I've never seen nature through your eyes and I love it. Kathy
