The days are changing, getting shorter, the nights grow longer and colder,
the need for wrapping up warm becomes more evident.
Wearing socks on a night and a big jumper shows how the season is changing,
shorts and singlets will soon be a distant memory,
the Summer heat will soon become a dream.
Days of 15 degrees will become a new reality,
days stuck inside while the rain pours,
keeping plants and trees alive before the harsh heat of Summer will once again return.
Nights of 4 degrees, wind howling, trees rustling,
thunder banging and lightning crashing as the endless storms roll on overhead,
while you lie in a warm bed, listening to the music of the night.
The cold you know won’t last long, but while its here,
you can’t help but hope soon for the warmth,
the beach days and late nights outside, with loved ones around.
For now, you settle with, movie days, game days,
hot chocolate and warm comfort food while you pass the time,
in the coming months of shorter days, longer colder night.
