winter has begun


all the colors in the world
are meeting in the sky
hovering over the city
in the blinking of an eye
shining over the horizon
at whatever will come
a full December rainbow
winter has begun

Halloween is over
Thanksgiving's at an end
and nobody's ready
for the holidays again
the internet is crowded
with sales from Amazon
break out your credit card
winter has begun

          little kids are looking
          for Santa on his sleigh
          the air is getting cold now
          snow is on its way

there's lights on the tree
tons of tinsel too
those songs you've been dreading
now live inside you
springtime is far away
summer is gone
time for gloves and jackets
winter has begun

          the days have grown shorter
          the nights are way too long
          the birds have all flown south
          you won't hear their morning song

all the colors of the world
are seen in Christmas lights
on rooftops and windows
they shine through the night
snow forms and falls in flurries
melting on the tongue
time to count your blessings
winter has begun
