Wind chimes rattling in the wind Playing their own kind of sound Clattering and ringing against the metal grate As the wind whips through them Trees bending in the wind, void of their foliage Looking naked and stark Moving to the rhythm of the moment Snow lightly falling and blowing around Looking like cotton candy Before gently resting on the ground It is the coming of winter and the season Cold easing its way into homes, bodies and open spaces Replacing the warm seduction of summer Temperatures dropping outside Bringing a frigid feel all around Nighttime chills and darkness befall the city Winter is arriving Time to get warm
