November Begins Poem by Daniel Trevelyn Joseph

November Begins



Walking earlier than dawn
I chanced to look up and saw
My ancient friend the Orion
With his dog, Sirius shining bright.
I was happy to see the clear sky,
Remembered October has ended
Without my looking upwards then!

I chanced again and saw
The light that hides objects in heaven,
Covering the face of the golden orb,
As in Isopanishad,
Teaching us balanced Truth:
The Hunter has become invisible.

Again I looked up and saw
A fruit-bat, flapping its wings,
Flying back home early morning
While humans were leaving home.

Once more I looked up and saw
A black bird, shooting above West
Silent, and streamlined:
I realized it was the two-toned koel
Rare sight for the new month of November.
