November

River Road photo by Lisa Melanie

grey sky

soft as a dove's wing,

river pock-marked with raindrops,

ripples swaying with 

the gentle current,

traveling to where

the water meets the sea

bare twiggy brush along the shore,

heron lifting heavy wings, 

skimming the surface

misty West Coast morning

grey clouds hanging low, 

heavy with tomorrow's rain

I take a mental snapshot

to forever remember

This Moment,

being perfectly

November.
