Dear November

Just words.

                               Dear November

I liked the cold days of November, slower days and the kind earth fall into deep rest.

The season of Autumn, a grand teacher.

We learn, grand nature will die and in the Spring.

Awake and show us.

All things must die, to become stronger.

Great pain become lessons for us to be kinder, tears will become places where the heart came alive

and taught us. We are humans, we shall know sadness and joy. We will know the greeting of hello and the pain of goodbyes.

I love the four seasons. Like life.

We are like the days of Spring. Born and rising to reach and touch the sky and the great dreams.

We are like the days of Summer. Where we will dance and sing to the Summer sun and moon.

We are like the days of the fall. Know good days and know the painful days. Slow down and gather our hearts and minds. We are like the days of Winter. Reflect and learn we must be reborn. Be strong and fearless.

Dear November.

The earth is covered with the whiteness of snow.

The children are dancing in the snow and kind earth is resting.

Please lords of life and death. My November wish.

We learn to lead with concern, kindness and listen to the people near.

Your words Coyote pack such a punch, they demand to be heard, tho spoken softly..
I particularly like the message spelt out in the following lines

"Please lords of life and death. My November wish.
We learn to lead with concern, kindness and listen to the people near".

Now that is what I call a November wish and true..... N

No not kind Coyote, true from my heart to yours.

Interesting and beautiful analysis of the four seasons. I love November too, though my rationale had always been that it is the month of binge eating (American Thanksgiving). I love how you depicted the transition from fall to winter here.

Thank you for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.

we all slow down eventually, and we lose our color---blend in blandly with nature...a nice parallel expressed here, Coyote...
November is such a barren month---but in some way also very poetic, isn't it?

Coyote, you have such an intellectual view of how the seasons have a direct influence on our lives. I never thought of it in terms of Winter and rejuvenation, but it makes perfect sense.

Thanks for a great read and don't stop writing. :-)
