November 2022 (An offering) Amen!

 November

 

How nearly now the end has come

In youth time dragged but now flies fast

Will finally this one year Oh! be the last

As on to trek from whence I’m come

 

In winter time where it did begin

Through all good day and then another

Can’t toll the time which marches farther

And, suddenly, we’re nearly there again

 

To feel so ready, then not at all

Might it really start where it does end

A race to only find round circle send

While spirits soar must mankind fall

 

Most lovely time in this year’s life

Machiavellian ends justified by means

Black soul to white Holy Water cleans

Free yearning spirit now from strife

 

Thanksgiving proper place for humble-praise

Import to hit each note in leaps and bounds

Empty space between is where the music sounds

Exemplar deeds faith’s trail to blaze

 

Thank God for sparing unfathomed trepidation

Charmed life, ’tis true, I know not why

His Grace bestowed on one such as I

Understand not but accept true His Revelation

 

Whisper-wind howls clarion-call to winter-chill

Larder-full! Seasoned-logs await fire-hunger flames

Holy-season at hand promise any evil-try it tames

Snow-sacred desire to holy Christmas-coming thrill

 

Time-through-space dare be no sojourn Love-vacant

Rebel! Rascal! Rogue! Rapscallion! Full-of-life!

Eschew: Evil-Worry! Fear! Deny any and all strife

I lived then---and now…and ’morrow future blatant

 

Come what may I’ll not complain! Just Let-it-snow!

Winter! Spring! Summer! Fall! His seasons flow!

Amen!
