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

Thank you dalton. I appreciate the comment.

no, not just words. I agree with you that November is the grand teacher. I like what you did there. Mainly because we are reminded with the festivals of death and martrydom, not just the falling temps and leaves.
Coyote, you have a great name. I would listen to the coyotes run about in the fields at night, growing up in Oklahoma, hunting for whatever it was. Miss those noises dearly.

Thank you Maxwell for reading and the comment. I like to hear the wolves and coyotes run and hunt. Been a while. Here in Michigan. Wolves are here, rarely seen.

Amen my friend, Amen!

another beauty bestowed from Your heart to bless us with gentle wisdom, company and warmth.

"tears will become places where the heart came alive" this line alone speaks pages, it's those tears which tell us we are humans, tell us that we feel, we feel pain, we feel happiness too.

so beautiful my friend, thank You for keep sharing Your generosity with all of us.

A November prayer and I thank you for it. The earth is resting. I will always remember that Coyote. I have never looked on November sympathetically, but now I will. So much wisdom in your lines.

There is a gentleness about your words in this one, John. You are a wise man. It is true, those who have been hurt in life understand the importance of being kind....if only more would understand. I liked this one a lot. Lydi**
