The air is crisp
And I am embraced
By winter chills
Which flood across the dales
Drawing all in their path

Mighty is the power of nature
As leaves swirl to their demise
And flowers shrug
A last note of life

Swept away by lingering thoughts
Of a summer spent enriched
By scented gardens and
Fields of corn as yellow as the sun

Icy paths trail to dawns
Lost in bone tingling frosts
Fingers numb and
Deadness surrounds
