Autumn


Can you feel it?

In the brisk morning air
autumn quickly approaches--wanting me
to embrace her with my whole being

These warm days of August remind me that
Summer still lingers and longs for
just one more lazy--hazy afternoon

Attempting to erase any thought of
shorter days--cool--brisk nights--sweaters--campfires
and falling leaves

With a mid-day summer's kiss
the warmth of the sun lingers until
the moon rises--and reminds us
that autumn will soon be on its way
