Soporific seasons sneak up on us
While we yet bask in summer’s afterglow
Minds a-buzzing, hearts aflame
Feet still shuffling to the fading beat
Alas, winter’s early herald stills our fervour
Sprouting gusts which whoo and threaten…
To bare us of all leaves had we them,
Overcoats which suddenly, now clad all men.
Light and Warmth a fading memory,
Grey the haze that sets the days
Hide we must from exterior chills,
We cling our warmth to each other, inside…
