Poem
Written: August 31, 2023 ______________________________________________________________ Each day the evenings will shorten, My lawn never got vibrant in my garden. Life shifts slowly as the sun sets low in the sky, As summer bids goodbye. Sunflowers start to hide their faces, Their vibrant petals are now withdrawn. No longer basking in the sun's warm embrace, Their golden glow is now gone. Morning dew sparkles on the green grass, A reminder of the fading warmth. Days grow short, and the air is a morass, As nature readies for the storm. Humming mower engines are quite rare, There is no longer a need for lawn care. Summer's melody has gone numb, Now, Autumn's whispers are dumb. BBQs are packed away for the following year, Neither sizzling steaks nor burgers on the grill Gatherings and merriment are unclear, As summer's flame begins to chill. After harvest moons, loud crickets crack-clack, Their symphony begins to wack, Nights sway calmer, and stars are brighter, Summer's lilting tune appears to be lighter. Beaches are vacant schools to replace, Children's laughter fades away, Yellow buses claim their place. As summer ceases it's joyful play. Lightweight blankets pulled to the chin, As the nights grow colder and longer, Bedtime dreams are tucked in, As summer's grip grows stronger. The buzzing harbor drones no more, Boats depart the splintery lakeshore, The waves now whisper their goodbyes As September knocks their ways. Farewell to summer's golden glow, As autumn's colors start to show, The world transitions; the seasons sustain, But Summer's memories will forever remain.
