November Rain

Winds swirl and throw rain

Slate grey skies choke light

Trees shake their last leaves

Cold damp air tears at world

Raw feels convey the changes

Red and yellow leaves cover grass

They fade as they mourn their passing

Above them branches sway wildy 

The rain pounds out change

It’s teeth dig into flesh

Cold transcends everything

Life takes cover as storms rage

Winds of change sweep clean

Summers warmth gone away
