As Autumn's Breeze
As Autumn's breeze grows colder still
A blizzard blasts an icy chill
Snow flakes dance on coats and skin;
Jack Frost comes skating in
And on his cape, where crystals form
In complex beauty to transform
the air, the trees, the earth and sky
A layer of peace can catch the eye
Autumn, enrobed in greens and browns,
must leave the scene with bows and frowns
And so, she does, with graceful ease
Her curtain calls felt in the breeze
So gleaming, fresh-faced, storming higher
Jack will force us round the fire
Or out with him to work and play
While he trims the first light from each day
He'll sit and wait, as so must we
And hibernate, or play with glee
'Til Spring steps in to thaw his fun
When he'll retire in her soft sun
