NOVEMBER  CROSSES

 
Slouching through the woods
on a  dark November day - 
hearing a Simon and Garfunkle
song in my soul - seeing empty trees,
feeling cold quiet - hearing the sound
and the shuffle of dead leaves 
on the hard ground beneath my feet. 
I have lost too many friends, Lord,
and too many family members –
as I walked under so many empty
crosses in these cold November woods.
