A week ago the world was brown...
and leafy-gold...
and leafy-gold...
Now it is wrapped in a sequin blanket white and cold!
(lost camera found!:)
With thousands of acres of corn still standing
it's hard to welcome Old Man Winter with wide-open arms
Beneath starred sweeps and diamond-studded shawls
The garden sleeps; fall’s final flowers fade
Where eiderdown of heaven decks earth’s halls
And rooms beneath our skin are rearranged
In an attempt to adapt to the art
Of constant change that cannot change time’s ways
And all must learn to reconcile the heart
To ordinary ordinance of days
Where we should have emotions well-rehearsed
But somehow still are taken by surprise
Though season-tides have never been reversed
To satisfy the hunger in our eyes
Where hope is always reaching for the moon
And winter always seems to come too soon
