It’s slightly chilly as it enters my window
A feeling of new found freshness it carries to me
Brightly the light dances over the ground
Glistening off the leaves casting familiar shadows
I breathe in deeply its brisk coolness
Warning me of its coming change
I feel the change caressing my skin
Prickling sensations awakened from me
A clear message can be derived from its coming
As the days become shorter
And darkness falls sooner each night
Daylight falls later with morning
A feeling of en-between envelopes your soul
Like hidden eyes watching your every move
You cannot hide from its coming
Soon the chill will turn to bitter cold
It’s magic changes everything around you
The world as you knew it, takes on a new face
Green turns to orange, red and brown
Death is what it makes you think; yet it is not the end
My mind whirls with this change
A feeling of deja vu surrounds my thoughts
Before, I have been here before
It’s familiar touch has graced my being many times
Alone I sit and contemplate it’s true meaning
My mind drifts toward a long awaited sleep
But I do not feel tired, yet it persists
I think how, how can I stop this change, so cold
The shadows flickering on my window speaking to me
Their message is clear and quickly diminishing their dance
But I do not feel afraid, for it’s message is calm
The chill air slightly refreshing with a hint of newness
I look out my window once more to the dancing shadows
A hint of warmth still hanging onto each afternoon
Yet the change is winning the battle, taking bites out of the warmth
I inhale deeply the fresh winds of fall, announcing it’s arrival
