Inspired by the changing of seasons. In a county setting when written.

————

In the fall of winter

I watch upon the diminishing colors

Of nature’s cycles of life

As budding blooms slowly fade

Leaving a brown barren look,

Made spooky for Halloween

In its dormant stage.

I feel the cool breeze brush against me

as I gaze across the countryside

having cleared cornfields from summers harvest.

Anticipating the chill of winter to come,

I find closure here in the painted falling leaf’s

Bringing an end to summers delights

and the warmth of sunshine kisses.

The beginning of winters purity,

Brings a sense of calmness to me

as I reminisce on summers accomplishments and

the joy of another season

with its changing crayon colors

Carpeting the ground!

As nature prepares her-self for

the fall of winter!
