Fall… You arrive so quickly.
So briskly, with your chill.
It’s like you creep in, during the night, without letting me say goodbye to my dear, sweet summer.
I don’t ever wish for summer to end, yet when you arrive, I am grateful.
Though, you sure do not ease yourself in, with your brisk nights and sharply chilly mornings.
The colors you bring are so beautiful.
Your chill really is, at times, close to miserable, yet, I forgive you, for the beauty that your bring with you is.. well… it makes it all worthwhile.
What a charmer you are, as you warm us up with the sight of your colors.
None are the same, each different shades and each so beautiful on their own, but especially together.
Fall, I guess you can stay for a while…
Until winter blows in and takes over…
Maybe, just maybe, next year, I may hope for your smile of leaves so brightly colored; red, orange and yellow.
Thank you for showing me the swift kiss of a breeze and a soft hug of the falling leaves.
Goodness, you sure do give me the chills…
