Sweater Weather

Sweater Weather.
The time when the air is crisp and cold, but the snow has not yet fallen- 
when I see an abundance of styles-
wool,
cotton,
fleeces, 
patterns of diamonds, hearts,
and intricate flakes of snow, 
skiers and mountains, 
pale colors, dark, deep colors- even neon, or sometimes pastel-
such a wonderful diversity, I see in sweater weather. 

Sweaters show personalities-
flashy, bold- that person must be confident!
or perhaps detailed,
carefully sown- I guess they have an appreciation of beauty!
Before you even know their name, a persons sweater can tell you so much about someone. 
But that's not all!

Sweaters tell a story-
perhaps one has symbols, patterns- what could they mean?
They are there for a reason, I think...
or maybe pictures that tell a story, 
or even holes ripped in the soft wool, worn from years of age- passed down through generations, I'd assume- I wonder who wore that one- perhaps royalty! 

Sometimes I think that sweaters are like people-
all different,
yet the same in many ways.

    Carried by the songbird’s wings
    Through forests bright, caverns dim
    Flying in the wild wind

    Tears have been shed and goodbyes have been said

    And the light is leaving from your eyes.
