This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Scranton chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

The Mistress of Colors wakes up from a deep slumber.

she dips her brush into the ink of seasons

and paints a distinct red

However, she senses a skin-seeping cold and

knows what is near.

Winter’s calloused hands brush against his domain.

Inklings of white feather out before him.

The rugged winds raises an eyebrow, scoffs at Autumn,

and deeply exhales.

A gust of wind causes a tremor to fill throughout the landscape

sages of white adorn nature, wrapping themselves around

the foliage like a shroud.

Autumn grimaces but the gleam in her eyes cease to go away.

She winks and smiles

an enchanting smile promising that the

bloom of nature surpasses the clutches of cold.
