Some would say this time of year is bleak but there is a soft beauty to the green and grey hues of November’s “stick season”.

THE REMAINS OF SUMMER
Here we sit, looking out
On the remains of summer,
With just a touch of melancholy.
Once we greeted the fall with a shout,
The cooling of the breezes,
The dawn of cobalt skies,
The jointure of deep colors
In the meadows and by the sea.
Once we rejoiced to see them here,
And still do, as far as rejoicing
Remains our portion. But now the fall
Brings in the end of balmy summer,
Which we cannot help regretting,
As we note the passing of our time.
Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints,
and give thanks to his holy name.
For his anger is but for a moment,
and his favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may tarry for the night,
but joy comes with the morning.
Some hilarious hot-blooded nonsense from John Donne, for your morning coffee. piped.video/bTk7gifpZZI?si=uNjZ…
Some morning Bach to start your day off right, with the wonderful Martha. piped.video/z7-fCeGxXKw?si=SPep…
