Descending raindrops, a shimmering cloak
Amongst the glittering skies, a starry night
A gust of wind, the november wind
Piercingly, piercingly, these shivering breathes
A bitter cold, starkingly so
These invisible blood, amongst the invisible snow
A November rain

Recalling memories, a seemingly distant past
So deep within, so far away, a hundred years
A gasp of breathe, the november scent
Verily, verily, these echoing memories
With piercing sharpness, chillingly true
My invisible cut, in my invisible heart
My November pain

A November birthday
Happy birthday to me
A November day
Of a rainbow unseen
in this november day

November rain
November
November
