A Bleak November Day
A bleak November day
Shades of clouds drawn
Tightly to the sill
Forests of pine trees shiver
As snowflakes hover overhead
Song birds huddle in nests high aloft
Hunkering down against the cold
Too soon for winter and yet a dampening chill
Envelopes the landscape
In gray that permeates everything
Except the hope of tomorrow
That brightens the sky
To drive a bleak November day
Into another forgotten memory
