NOVEMBERS THAW by Mark MaxeyBeneath the November snow is a dream frozen
animated in spring which now seems abondoned
extinguished by words others uttered
that should have been ignored
wrapped around a passion of fire
a dream awaits the thaw
that can only come from within
and the snow struggles to snuff it out
a voice inside the throat
awaits a gutteral release
expelled from the diaphrams force
from a rage of repressed years
rattled by an accidental adventure
that voice from long ago is faintly heard
crys for the child to wake from it's slumber
and the end of the year awaits a decision
a child like star gaze
touched by the angel of wishes
cannot lay down forever
frozen by tears of desertion
that only a November thaw can melt
can destiny be forsaken more than once
before it's extingushed forever
or can a voice from long ago be allowed to speak
even in November
November's thaw weeps for brith
