Summer leaves and Fall arrives

Bringing with it the soothing sounds

Of rain over the earth

The smells of fallen leaves on the dirt

And Fall turns into Winter

Slowly but surely

Bringing feelings of warmth

Around the chimney fire

Cold hands around a mug

Of hot cocoa

A book to read, or to listen to

While the drizzle outside

Turns the world almost white

It’s almost night

We’re almost there

Winter will take us all

To new heights of love

Of hope, of repairs

A new beginning
