Cold, crisp, air, 
The wind dances through the trees, 
Leaves chatter, some fall, 
Crisp beneath one’s feet, 

Bright skies, filled with light, 
Colors rich in hue, 
A contrast from the warm summer nights, 

A change in seasons, 
Brings delight, 
As it’s almost time, 
To usher in a warm winter’s night.

Snuggled in, blankets in tow, 
Perhaps a long gaze, 
Into the fires light. 

Dancing flames, burn bright, 
Crackles away, 
Ember’s glow,
Long into the chilly night, 
So many, 
Creating delight.

Embrace for change, 
It’s all around, 
Take a moment and enjoy, 
Natures sounds. 

Soon spring will be waiting. 
Until then, I suggest we all live, 
And dance at least once in the rain, 

Laugh and giggle, 
Run and play, 
Fill your heart, 
With the gift
From Mother Nature.
