That Pause between Summer and Autumn

Feel that pause between Summer and Autumn,
When the universe takes a relieved breath,
Before pulling the leaves to the bottom,
Where they fall to their silent crushing death;
Hear that sigh between Summer and Autumn,
Pregnant with the restless rustle of trees,
All good and ready for what God taught 'em,
Whispering soft the secrets of the breeze;
That break between Summer and Autumn's cool,
Change's needed, so's the time to just lie ~
The in-between time to face new shift's rule,
When Nature grooms itself to dye and die.
