Drifts of Fallen Leaves In Higher Heaps Blown
Drifts Of Fallen Leaves In Higher Heaps Blown
Cooler gray dawns, signs of winter's first step
with drifts of fallen leaves in high heaps blown.
Cold raindrops, splash from skies that have wept
winter comes, winter comes let it be known!
Nature and winter walking hand in hand
time for shorter day's sun to early sleep.
Soon, sad gray wrapping Nature and its land
screaming, take care of all you want to keep!
Dawns waking up, white blanket all around
new robe fallen for the steep, bitter cold.
Tho' such beauty, snow upon frozen ground
oft is danger for the weak and the old!
When old man winter brings both good and bad,
more we love Spring with our hearts truly glad!
R.J. Lindley,
