Blue-bellied lizards scamper beneath trees,
Beneath dandelion and mahogany colored leaves.
Red robins soar above fluff-filled clouds,
Above legions of scarf-wearing, pumpkin carving crowds.
Translucent winds carry the scent of autumn. Carrying the seeds of next spring’s blossoms.
Soon after the tidings of winter shall arrive,
Soon shall the snowmen and pine trees come alive.
White flakes of yuletide joy will leave no spot uncolored,
Hugs and kisses: shared among friends, family, and lovers.
The bells of kindness will ring across this winter wonderland--
Love for all people of all races; mercy to the innocent and ******.
All this would be a nice change for the rains of my mind;
It's been three years, but I have yet to again see the sun shine.
