Ice In the Wind

Fall begins with ice in the wind
A light shiver inside and out
As if the summer breeze has sinned
And lost it’s heat to blow about

Cooling your senses with each breath
Fall begins with ice in the wind
Leaves change and fall like life and death
As lushness in the trees has thinned

This chill left me not frowned but grinned
Hints of cool leave me gladly numb
Fall begins with ice in the wind
As I welcome hints of autumn

A season with both warm and cold
As Mother Nature’s wunderkind
Feel it approach as once was told
Fall begins with ice in the wind
