Daylight Saving

So short the days,
so long to burn the fog
that masks the fading
muted reflections.
Orange red and yellow
meld to a soft amber that
drifts and falls slowly mellow.
November morning,
crisp dawning crushed
like the frost tipped blades -
rushed like the years final days
and the colors now gone.
I watch and recall,
once more forced to
be patient while waiting
for the sun.

A feel-good poem for me Craig, makes me feel kind of cozy, with more time for a fire in the fireplace, sipping some hot tea, safe and warm inside. The sun will come soon enough x

Love fall Charlotte, but not dark shorter days. That said, it's the seasons, like our unforgiving moods become intoxicating in a way that makes it a paradox -- headed to Florida in the AM for the winter--hope you have a great winter in the UK
