‘Tis the Season

Fall shifting 

From out to in

Chill to hot

Far to close

Ground baren

Blowing in mess

Distance greater

No more cherries

Leaves collapse

Darkness greys the day

Sweater’s paint the colors

Jackets and hats

Hold back the cold

Barbeque moves inside

Golf turns to football  

Football to basketball 

Christmas is born in the mall

Feasting in desires flight

Heat comes to melt

Time waits for the day

Brown turns to white

Silence masters noise

Breath can be seen

Breeding hides

In Winter’s waiting

Holding on to close

In comforts warmth

Slowing the day

Until tomorrow awakes

Waiting for Spring.
