On the threshold of November
   she breathes, filling empty air
   the fallen life of a silent embrace
   lost dances that were never there

   she knows by now they never stay for long
   perhaps just to stop by
   for welcome respite
   and some shelter upon her bough ...

                                 ... for now

   as they grace her with their color or
   serenade her with a lover's song

on the threshold of November
   she exhales and prepares for the approach
   of winters still
   uncertain as the skies to rise
   with variegated shades
   from storms that hammer upon her
   through reprieves in warmer days
   when winds prevail and whisper kisses soft ...

                                 ... for now

on the threshold of November
   she stands and watches
   as her feet are married
   to the world below the ground

   and today she sheds another lover
   as leaves and songbirds fly on bye ...

                                 ... for now

Ladies - thank you for your kind words and praise.

Maureen - nice to have touched Wynter's charms once more!

Gentlemen - thanks for the read and replies.

Working with Ms. Inky has its share of smiles!!
