Seasonal Change

I rise slowly,
Dull witted and dumb,
    lethargic from the lack of sleep.
The summer heat once drained me
    holding back my energy
but cool, crisp autumn mornings
    wrap and keep me snug beneath the covers.

Now winter rises -
the seasonal brisk change,
    there waits the icy cold snow
to call me out to play
    then quickly push me back
to hot cocoa and warm downy comforters
    to keep me safe and wide awake.
