Brown leaves, pale green leaves, purple leaves. The wind picks up.\n\nLakes start freezing. The waters grow cold. Ice is forming.\n\nRain is transforming into snow flakes. A slow transition. The days grow bleak.\n\nWarmth leaves the air, but the fireplace is warm.\n\nBirds migrate. Tourists leave. People leave.\n\nAll there's left are a few people. A few people. Some animals. The cold.\n\nBut it's still nice. There is fire. There is light.\n\nHowever.\n\nIt does get lonely.\n\nThe moon is there, but only because it has to be there. Other wise, the land would be dark.\n\nWolves howl to it. They're not alone. They have other wolves to be with.\n\nEven if they shun the lone wolf. At least that lone wolf got to be with others for a moment.\n\nAt times, there are dark nights. Clouds cover the moon. The wind howls, because winter can get lonely.\n\nThings cower and hide. But they have warmth. It isn't quite the best place to be, but it's something.\n\nThe wind dies down. The moon is back. The wolf is thankful. Not because it survived, but because the moon is back. Company to talk to, to howl to.\n\nWinter has come, but it's not as bad as I thought.\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
