I’m feeling quite joyous, Yes! It’s that time of year
So delighted, when the holiday season brings cheer
Decorations that shine on each tree, lighted brightly
Ah, the sky glistens too, with each star, lighted nightly

I wake to frosted windows, shimmering in the sun
I used to love the arctic air, as a child, I’d play & run
Winter’s breath is upon me, how I shiver in the cold
Seems I can no longer handle it, I must be getting old

Dear sweet autumn
Where have you gone?
Someone came
And took you away
Though leaves are turning
But, my heart’s still yearning
Winter’s come
And I think it’s to stay
Frost on the ground
In the early morn
Green grass is long gone
Turned, shades of brown
And the sky is so gray
On this cool October day
I need to smile, turn
My frown upside down
November is coming
How quickly, it seems
Counting days
Til the colors have left
Pictures taken, a few
It’s what I needed to do
To keep my heart
From feeling bereft
And I’ll count the days, in so many ways
Until her beauty returns, once again
I’ll wait by the door, of this I am sure
Pray my autumn, this time, will remain

Summer warmth has quickly passed
Shadows cover the afternoon
Flora begins to curl in the light
With autumn’s approach, I quietly swoon
As morning dew, with a frosty breath
Blankets each petal with rime
Her sign, of seasons changing
As the moon begins to climb
I watch the days grow darker
Ah, tis when I release my passion
For falling leaves, and autumn’s chill
To which my heart, I fashion

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
