November

November dark, gray, melancholy skies
Barren trees, leaves fallen on slumbering ground
Silent dismal cries
Sad lingering feelings found

Stormy angry winds blow
Deep inside sullen thoughts hide
What goes on, no one really knows
Emotions up and down like a roller coaster ride

Darkness robs the day of light
Harsh bitter cold
Reaching for covers at night
Blankets and blankets too many to fold

Just can't explain
Horrible sinking feelings
Hurts so bad, so much pain
What's happening layers and layers peeling

Winter boredom blues
Creeps up on some
Call it whatever you choose
But then come

Earth awakening Spring
A new birth steals all fears
Brightness and hope the season brings
Like magic, happiness appears
