The Sounds of Winter

Trees, where leaves are falling,
Houses clouded on a gloomy day,

Each day windy and cool,
Sounds of the wind drifting through the trees.

Outside the vacant tree, a profile left by God,
Unusual days where the warm comfort of home beckons.

Now you know winter is making a guest appearance,
Divine nature chamouflaged.

Scenes of another season,
Over the days of autumn.

First days of winter guest soon,
Winter another beautiful season.

Ice and snow melted by the sun,
New fresh air crisp and welcoming.

Time zones of another realm,
Excellent days for humanity to enjoy.

Real sports acquired,
Selected from God's kingdom.
