Frosty Spell

Autumn leaves twirl in an aerial dance
 As skies transform to shades of gray
 Soon, winter will take a stance
 And the north winds will blow snowflakes our way

 As Halloween ends, November winds set in
 And not long after the winter solstice begins
Casting its frosty spell of gloom
 And sunset comes all too soon

 Snow begins to fall as twilight nears
 Its silence echoing through the night
 The hush continues until dawn
 With a landscape adorned in white

"Autumn leaves twirl in an aerial dance, soon- winter will take a stance" Your words have come to life. I feel a chill in the air. There is something magical, yet eerie about this. I love it. I wish to place this in my favorites. :) Brandy
