Fall Into Winter

Falling temperatures, dark starry nights
Autumnal winds, beautiful northern lights,
Lethargic as our celestial star hides
Low on tangerine sky, sadness resides,

Inclement weather we should now expect
North winds will blow without any respect
Tolerance, total forgiveness needed
Optimism, expectations exceeded,

Warmth will be received from those we adore 
Ice, snow, rain will relent, can not ignore 
Nothing taken for granted this season
Time of sadness, time of joy, good reason,
Experience cold fresh air, misty morns
Return glistening webs as daylight dawns.

Such lovely scenery and imagery in your poem, Roy--and you did it so well with an Acrostic--quite difficult to do!
