Blog postNovember mists descend as a widow’s shawl The Summer long gone, hidden – Tossing aside the fallen leaves Snapping branches heavy with sorrow – Easing flocks into the sky, departing Securing the waters to prevent their return – This is how Winter arrives uninvited, unannounced Emerging from beyond this gloom – From Gaia’s last deep, … Continue reading November Mists
