November Rain|Sestina Poem

I

November rains fall upon the lost soul

Its bitterness chills deeper in the mind

Relentless in its down pouring of water

It pricks like sleet upon a winter night

Running its course, the chill of the season

A depressing rain as it moistens leaves.

II

A measure of cold passion it now leaves

A passion now frozen within the soul

A soul desiring a change in season

Wanting no more than an enlightened mind

The sun to shine forth from the darkest night

Nostalgic memory of summer’s water

III

When the soul was embraced by the water

Along with the inner most warmth it leaves

Unlike the bitter coldness felt at night

In the November rains that pierce the soul

Summer warms the inner part of the mind

Like the newness that comes in spring’s season

IV

Thoughts- feelings change from season to season

Warmth in summer-relentless fall water

Effecting the belief in the mind

The perception of dark or light it leaves

Hues that leave an impact on mind and soul

Can enlighten or chill darkness of night

V

Perceive illuminating beams at night

A light that whispers hope in its season

A hope of warmth in the depths of the soul

Like a waterfall’s blue cleansing water

That flows over top- serenity leaves

Unexplainable peace within the mind

VI

November Rains that cursed the soul and mind

Can find solitude in the darkest night

Understanding of the sting that sleet leaves

In the depths of coldness in its season

Waiting for the warm refreshing water

To pour and revive a passionate soul

VII

Passion rains within the depth of the soul

Regardless the warmth or freezing water

Serenity’s found in any season.
