Fall Feelings
You pull up to the house
Tires crunching on the gravel
The house is big
A pile of red and orange leaves to the side of it
Open the car door
A smoky smell of leaves in the air
Wrapping your sweater tight around you
The chill giving a promise of white winters.
They greet you with hugs
And bright welcoming smiles
You receive a cup of cocoa
It warms your hands from the chilly outdoors.
When you take a sip,
Your mouth dances with the sweetness of the cocoa
Your belly warms
With the feel of something in it.
The fire crackles
When you sit on the floor in front of it
Your toes are warm now
Sipping your cocoa by the red orange and yellow flames
This is where you want to be
