novemberA Poem by Krista Laraine
These dead days of autumn's last,
when the hills give no place for ghosts to hide; with elusive daylight fading fast, and haunting stars to guide, this dry, barren land takes its last embrace of all that was innocent, and all that is past. Looking through a kitchen window which was cleaned yesterday- in spring, down tight, and for the winter, closed, leaves me to such somber imaginings of cold I have most often opposed, and yet, here a subtle warmth in the wake of its coming. What it is, I may not be aware, by the conscious daily thought. Rather, in the deepest night, as a silent prayer against all I've known and have been taught- you seem to linger there. © 2008 Krista Laraine |
