An Ode to the Moods of Fall

All things 

Pushing pace 

Red

Yellow

Orange hues blurring through 

Fall brings chills

And warm sunny days

Bringing an inch

Of rays across our skin

Before it all

Goes away

The tease of 

What winter rawness

Drying our skin 

The calm before

The winter storm

Looms overhead 

Halting the warmth 

Fall brings beauty 

And suddenly it

Vanishes piece by piece 

And

The snow patches over the dead limbs 

Slowing speed

Till the first snow hits
