The chill in the air, ever so slight

A hint of winter’s calling

Barren lay the autumn trees

Their leaves no longer falling

The smell of fires burning

Lovers, warm beside the glow

Crystals form on window panes

From the touch of newest snow

Frosted evergreen needles

Red berries shimmering bright

Seasons changing once again

Ever so quickly, overnight

When all else fails, and life throws you a curve

And you finally realize, you’re on your last nerve

Just cross your fingers, and hope for the best

Forget what they need, what you need is your rest

They offer a moment, for you to relax

Only to find out, they’ll be taking it back

It’s then that you feel, your life has been foozled

They got you again, you’ve been cheated, bamboozled

More winds up on the table

Then winds up in the glass

I discovered making milkshakes

Can be a royal pain in the ass

I forget to put the top back on

Turned the blender up too high

Fruits, ice cream, oh what a mess!

Then the children start to cry

I guess I’m really not too good

At making these sweet treats

I’ll let the kiddies do their own

Lest I suffer more defeats

A sudden breeze, took me by surprise

I let go, my heart, set free

I watched it sail, into the sky

Til I could no longer see

Into the wind, it wallowed

Enjoying the ride, while I cursed

I stood there hoping it would return to me

For I knew, at some point, it would burst

A tear fell from my cheek

As I watched it slip away

I wore my heart out on my sleeve

On that very fateful day

When I lost the only thing I knew

My tears, now overflowing

I am left to find, what I could never replace

And I sigh with the winds, still blowing
