Fall Magic

I wake with covers pulled way up high on my bed, 

a cool breeze from the window,

and I know Fall is in the air. 

The wisdom of the season change, 

gives me hope and spirit,

the air, so cool, blows through me.

The days are shorter, but the season seems to last forever 

in my mind, 

those smells of Fall magic, 

can only be found a few months of the year,

and I take it all in.

Apple cider, carmel applies, slushies and Fall bike rides,

Halloween, cinnamon, pumpkins, and friends,

a season for change, a time to reflect.

Baseball games and football, long walks in downtown, 

stepping on the fresh leaves with someone new, 

feel that Fall magic through your intertwined hands.

 Passion and colors, red and orange and gold, 

how can you be sad, when there is so much beauty around?

The strength of the season, the start of something new, 

courage, and growth, and smiles,

oh Fall, how I do love you.

The thick apple cider, the smell of cinnamon sugar,  pumpkin spice

light jackets and warm sun, 

all of this Fall Magic, oh, it has only just begun. 

Give this magic a chance, a place to grow and change
Color it with love and see what remains.
Right now we must say goodbye to summer, like saying goodbye to an old love.
Embrace the new season upon us, and see what will come
But old loves and seasons will always come back, but each as a new opportunity
too see what may have lacked.

So goodnight, Fall magic air, rest well in the coolness of your season
Wrap yourself in the magic of the breeze,
Listen softly to the wind and calm,
Be still sweet, sweet, Fall, 
For you are really the best season of all.
