Winds of Change

Frenzied leaves spin in the wind 
Tousled by fall's frigid breath
Hoping for a few more dances 
Before being buried in winter frosting

Cold
I'm shivering on my bed
Soon to be in the bed

And I heard that snow is coming... Too soon! 
We're barely in October and 
The leaves still need to dress for autumn
Don't bring winter yet!

Outside I hear the wind
Gusting change through the air
I am caught between seasons
Hardly knowing which to curl up in to stay

My head knows change is good, healthy 
Brings new dreams and new springs and 
Growth after cold

I tune it out for a spell
Content to cozy under comforters
Pretending it will be warmer
In the morning
