BitterSweet My Window~

Twenty five degree temperature drop,
gazing through the panes,
standing still and quiet,
yet stirred inside,
thoughts crisp and deliberate
past smoking chimney's,
while wind gossips
through gold mosaic leaves,
and the bonfire of me
embraces all the soul can gather
under the watch of a Fall sky.

Growing older but none the wiser
for I am just another motherless child
lost in the wood,
in need of fireglow comfort
and tender words,
only what most of us crave
in this heady season of change &
russet hearts.

Oh..beautiful burn of Fall
you singe the hills of my imaginings,
I am in your spell,
wrapped in a shawl of mist
and melancholy.

Tears fall unexpectedly,
they drop to the sill
as if to greet the cold
October rain..

No matter how much I look forward to it during the scorch of summer, the chill of fall always makes me feel like something's dying.  Your words here strike a very familiar chord.
