Change is in the air <br />Exemplified by a chill <br />A vaporous breath is expelled <br />Hopes for balmy days go downhill <br /> <br />The forecast is for flurries <br />Mindful thoughts concentrate <br />On slowing the inevitable <br />As intuitive birds migrate <br /> <br />What is left of summer’s warmth… <br />Only wisps of faint recollections <br />Caught up in a gust of wind <br />As numbing skin seeks protection <br /> <br />Retreating indoors to avoid freezing <br />Time for cuddling, cooking and crafts <br />Searching for cozy winter clothing <br />To insulate from penetrating drafts <br /> <br />10/27/08<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/winter-here-it-comes/
