Chills in Fall

Waking up in the morning , graced by the presence

The wintry shades leaving an impression of the leaves 

As summer passes away and a brief welcome on the winter’s eve

The freezing air with a soft warm sun ,

 the warmth a memento of basking in the glow in the months

How time has fluttered so far , the frost lingering on the leaves

Waking up in the dew-wrapped morning , graced by the presence 

Of winter knocking on my door , I leave it waiting for a second 

To grab all my clothes and wrap it around myself 

So the winter doesn’t blow away my warmth , in its presence 

Any bare skin unchecked leaves chills down my spine, an unwanted present

It's not cold enuf here to fire up my woodstove, which is my only heat source in a mountain cabin. I've gotten acclimatized to being cold or hot, however the outside may be. No lingering warmth around here! Altho the dogs do stick around the electric blanket as long as possible (((HUGS)))

If only fall could stay longer and not be "a brief welcome on the winter's eve". Nicely worded. I love fall.
