.
The ice is gone from the lake
It should be; it is October
I mention this now because
The cold wind blowing last night
Brought back the winter memories
Last year was a killer
It started early; lasted through spring
And marched through part of summer
Now the monarchs are leaving
The birds will leave or have left
In their own natural order
Ice will return and
We will feel at home again
The landscape looks good
It sometimes becomes
Winter food for the deer
Snow-blower is primed and ready
Now all I have left to do
Is work on my attitude
I like winter but also
Crave spring, summer and autumn
I must get my body in shape
Winter muscles need their own tune up
Nature will be with us
There will be beauty
For this we give thanks
