Autumn


I am trying not to dread Autumn.
I really do like it,
with all of its golden colors.

The air cools.
The leaves turn and fall.
Trees flame red.
Mountains whirl in color.
It is magical.

But my eye wanders.
Looking in the distance.
Winter.

(shudder)

So I spend all of my hours outside.
Catching all the last warmth that I can.
Soaking it up.
Feeling the heat sink into my bones.

Maybe if I soak up enough,
the warmth will stay inside of me
and like magic dispel the cold.
