November Leaves

The days are getting shorter. And colder. The nights are creeping ever so forward. Here are three poems to enjoy with a warm cup of hot chocolate and a blanket.

Each of these poems follows a basic understanding. There's no theme connecting them, other than the universal themes that surround all poetry.

We'll Get By deals with disappointment and acceptance.

What Is It All For wonders about life's purpose and our trials and tribulations.

It's Okay deals with the need for confidence and optimism in our day-to-day.

We'll Get By

We'll get byOh, what's the use of making upWhen you ain't got no legsWe'll get byOh, if you're asking meSay what you meanOur hearts got cureAnd we're getting oldThere ain't much I can doNow I've learned my lessonWhen you don't speak the wordsThat could speak my languageYou're still askingWould you teach me a thingSaid it out loudBut I don't dareIt's the only language leftThat understandsNobody has to believe in my faithIt hears what I hearAnd now there's another that understandsSo many voicesIt can't be unseenI only know what's in front of meI can't fight it.

What Is It All For

What do I do when the nights, they're long and cold.What do I do when I've come so far in life?What is it that makes you think that life is worth living?What is it all for?There comes a time when all the grand schemes, schemes, schemes in the worldCome undone, there's a place to go Find a brand new start.What do I do when the nights, they're long and cold.What do I do when I've come so far in life?What is it that makes you think that life is worth living?What is it all for?There comes a time when all the grand schemes, schemes, schemes in the worldCome undone, there's a place to go Find a brand new start.
