far off I hear bells ringing

I take in the leaves
of red, orange and gold
under a blue sky
I hear the soft steps
of deer grazing nearby
the sun is high but
soon will dip below
far off I hear the bells
ring signaling the
coming of winter

  4. A quadrille full of gentle sounds and bright colours, Maria. We still have blue skies, but yes, far off bells mark the coming of winter.
