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
