Falling Into Winter

Leaves of yellow, orange, and red, falling from the trees

Leaving the empty tops clear and clean

As the warms looms here and there

The colors slowly fade away

Only leaving the barren landscape

The slowing frost shows on some mornings

As the light fades earlier in the day

Darkness will start to dominate the hours

The wind blows the chill as it comes my way

Small white flurries in the air bring a new thrill

Smell of pine and warm fires burning bright

Bundled clothing in various colors all around

As one can see walking through the downtown

As more snow comes to fall on my cold nose

The feel of winter has finally come

when my breath can be seen in the air
