Under the November skies

it's a special journey, tonight,
a homecoming,
as my heart longs to unite with its soul,
and my eyes seek rest,
my breath craves to slow down
and, melt in yours

the moon was shy tonight,
and, the evening sky jogged my memory
can't say what lit up
the embers of the past,
whether it was
the moon and the polestar together,
or, the smiles from many winters back

it's a special journey tonight,
under the november skies,
when the thoughts rang in more,
and the quiet spoke volumes
when my heart found another,
that pounded for it,
so what if you never owned up to it!
