November Morning

128 4 5
                                        

Crisp, autumn leaves
Fall from the magnificent silver sky

I lift my face upward to
Feel the earth around me sigh

Morning mists are sleeping
Not wanting to be disturbed

All is hushed in nature
Even the birds are reserved

The only living thing I see
Is sitting right beside me

Purring low, her eyes closed she's
Enjoying this tranquil treat

Others might find it dreary
Others might find it bland

While my soul draws in the serenity
Of this calm and appealing land

My inner being digests it slowly
Drinking in the stillness

Consuming the faint sunbeams
Absorbing the morning fogginess

A longing within me rises, on this glorious fall awakening
Oh for everyday to be like this

An impeccable November morn.
