November Night Poem by James Casey

November Night

There is magic in a November night
There's a chill that fills the air
Full moon rising, it's not surprising
Strange sounds follow me everywhere

Shadows dance from the naked trees
Who's leaves were lost by frost
Mourners cry on bended knees
Weeping for loved ones lost

Oh how frightening are these nights
Waiting for ghosts to appear
Shivers run up and down my spine
Oh How I wish that you were here

I wonder if you've lost your way
Or fallen into an abyss
Please hurry back to me now
I really, really need your kiss

Dear God Is that you coming
Or has my longing blinded me
No it's just another shadow
From the arms of a lonely tree

I sand alone on this dark night
Waiting for you to make it right
The darkness makes an eerie sight
There it is, I see your light

You've come to me, now all is bright
