November Sky

by Richard Vince

There is an urgency in the sky;
An almost tangible energy
That quickens my heart
And my feet.

The trees feel it too:
Their outstretched limbs wave
To the clouds as they hurry by.

That same wind that propels
The clouds plays with my
Clothing and my tired breath,
So that I cannot ignore
The feeling of life around me.

The leaves are dying, but
I am living once again.

I can feel this poem - very nice.

Yes! The falling leaves do not mean death, just a shift in how one lives - nicely put. I like how this begins with energy observed that gives you energy. Love the last two lines.

Perfect. The ending couldn't have been stated any better.

"The leaves are dying, but
I am living once again
A brilliant verse to rock the mind! Love this style as I write like this often! Excellent dude!

Although I prefer September and October, this poem certainly reinforces why fall is my favorite time of year. Thanks for that Richard. Excellent close off also.

it seems that more leaves die in the summer here in the desert, but this piece brings to memory the "real" falls i've had in the past.
