November Dreams

In a dream-like trance We tread softly along paths Lit up by flickering lights We are holding hands As we stop and read our names Inscribed on the marble slab ------------------------------------------------------------------------- *November is the month of the dead. 7th October, 2014 Contest: OCTOBER BLISS or NOVEMBER DREAMS/ Sijo or Sedoka Sponsor: Andrea Dietrich Placed: 1st

Death is a heavy stone, life is light grown home... I enjoyed the death art quality in this poem mortality become wonder Paul. November is a solemn month for us in the North region, it portends cold, yet beautiful struggle. J.A.B.

Paul Callus
Date: 10/9/2014 2:44:00 PM

For many people November is a dark and morbid month; to others it brings sad memories; to some it is the hope for life after death. I suppose both religion and the weather have a say in all this. Thanks for your welcome visit. // paul
