             November Reveries

Tree skeletons rattle in the Winter wind
that cracks the dry-stubble stalks of corn
and lures the last November scraps of
withered leaves to dance the waning night
   in faint, dry  sounds
like the distant footsteps of long-forgotten
   spirits passing
with their lonely memories of times and
lives and loves  … forever lost
to such a cold, indifferent moon and
   vast-eternal sky,
just before the turning of a page
to a bright new-frosted dawn.

This is what I would consider
a poem of the ancients, and
that it should live long
and strong among them.

A very find write, my friend.

Brava!
