NOVEMBER

Street lights framed with bright halation,
Shining through the condensation.

 
Twilight headlamps, homeward driving,
Lamplit hallway on arriving.

 
Crystal glasses twinkling rainbows,
Sherry amber, warming heart glows.

 
Dinner, candle-light and after
Firelit friends’ relaxing laughter.

 
Treasures, precious to remember,
Good can happen in November!
