         Bleak November

Tonight a violent, bitter wind
stirs the deep, dark woods
beneath a frosty midnight moon
with the outside world
awash in cold silver
as the last Autumn leaves
rain against the window;
and a few ragged, purposeless
clouds race by to destinations
   uncertain.
It is an eve for Summer thoughts,
a stone-fire hearth, and candle-lit
dreaming of my one true love,
   though far away,
to chase the Wintry chill of
body, mind, heart, and spirit
as bleak November comes early.

I know that bleak November, but there is beauty in its starkness, the barest of branches against the blackest of nights, and you do know this too

The most beautiful weather report, I have ever read, Bruce. I just know that she reads it too.

A stark and desolate picture of great beauty. Bruce.
