Have you taken the time to look around you?
The air is changing and the world is different now.
It gets dark earlier as the sun retreats to rest.
We are greeted each morning with a cold frost
and the world becomes slower now.
The heat inside is rising
making for lethargic mornings and mid-afternoon naps.
We long for the days when the sun shines in the evening
and dreary gray clouds no longer bring snow.
But for now, we are here.
For now, we breathe in the cool, crisp air
and for now, we can let our bodies slow
as we too need to retreat and take time to reset.
