JUST RESTING....
Seasons come and seasons go,
Some have a peak, some no show.
Here at my home the season is off,
Leaves aren't falling as we thought.
In late September it was hot,
Undecided if it would change or not.
Cool one day and hot the next,
Rainy days, heat, I was perplexed.
Now the leaves are still green,
Not many colors as it would seem.
They are confused and rightfully so,
Some up north are covered in snow.
So we are resting no need to rake,
What has happened for goodness sake.
The leaves hold on to each limb,
It seems the falling has escaped them.
A mysterious chain of events,
As to what will circumvent.
Now after weeks of humid heat,
The artic freeze is making a meet.
Before the leaves can turn to gold,
They will curl up from the cold.
Instead of beauty beyond compare,
They're all dried up; just hanging there.
So here we are in the throws of winter,
With trees dressed, but not in splendor.
So just sit back and wait to see,
Just what the change is going to be!!
Yes, here at my home .....
The season is off and hasn't come.
A strange occurence to be sure,
So we'll just rest and wait for more!!
