A Peaceful Autumn

The air becomes crisp
The days become shorter  
The colors crunch under our feet 
The chill runs through us all 

The days become shorter 
We savor the warmth and prepare for the ice 
The chill runs through us all
We give thanks to the world for still spinning 

We savor the warmth and prepare for the ice
I stare out the window at the dancing colors
We give thanks to the world for still spinning
I feel the laughter of children playing in the leaves 

I stare out the window at the dancing colors
This is contentment
I feel the laughter of children playing in the leaves 
This is a peaceful autumn
