The Dark Half

Come forth November, we welcome you Though cold an silent, one day all will be new All life goes to sleep in a way Our souls need peace, a time to give thanks and pray Reflections from our heart, of days long ago Reminds us of fireside chats, and the places we'd once go Dim light from the sun slows all that would grow Preparing for winters fresh bedding of snow It's only the dark half the other sides bright Lets let out a laugh, and light our candles each night Till April your sister with showers of rain Wakens our spirit, then we'll all dance again Nan
