There is a feeling of calm upon the soul,
in the first autumns cool morning,
a moving on perhaps
from a summer’s entertainment,
to a much slower way of time
Inviting one to come and settle,
and soon admire its colorful display,
the handing off to carry on,
a different state of mind
The shadows loom earlier,
as nights begin to lengthen
and daylight cedes its way
a log is presented to its place,
allowing sparks once again
a chance to play
The possibility of a book to be chosen,
to while away the time
Reclining in the easy chair,
maybe sugar plumb fairy’s dancing,
upon one’s idle mind
The days get cooler and crisp,
with thoughts of picking up a rake,
or maybe a cup of hot cocoa,
to think through it all,
while you take a break😊
Soon masked bandits,
ghosts and a princess or two,
will be knocking on the door,
with baskets and bags half full,
‘please a little more’
And just around the corner,
a feast will soon be shared,
with family and friends,
prepared with love and care
And they’ll be that first sight of white
that will soon adorn outsides presence,
the thoughts coming up quick,
of wrapping all the presents
But for now let’s enjoy these subtle changes,
as they drift in on all of us
and the blessings of another year,
and the weather ( us midwesterners )
Love to discuss.
