Early Fall
It’s going to be an early fall,
already the air is cool,
breezes cast dried leaves to the ground
as plants whither and die.
The garden is almost done,
some things never flourished,
some lagged far behind,
others fruited far too early.
It’s going to be an early fall,
there is a brisk chill in the air,
not just today
but for the last few.
The season came too quickly,
passing in the blink of an eye,
here then gone,
easily without effort.
Winter, Spring, Summer,
all came around again,
and come again
and then, looking back
the days and months
are suddenly years passed and gone
irretrievable moments lost to time
and the changing of the clock
It’s going to be an early fall.
