- Summer's End -

Summer is like bathing naked in honey Liquid hot gold shiny sweet honey You feel it like velvet on your skin It fills you with wonder - sweetness and grace Dancing in a field of timothy filled with summer scents A gust of wind that kisses your cheek - it's summer time Small buds on the trees - a little bird sitting in the tree and singing Summer day suffocated by autumn crisp and cold breath Grief catches my deepest spirit but the waves hide my tears On my palette colors are perfect - red, yellow, orange and brown tones The trees pray and hope - but someone has to lose for severe storms My eyes capture the most beautiful moments Autumn dress in beautiful colors dancing and ripples in the wind Withered autumn leaf - no small bird sitting in the tree and singing - A-L Andresen :) 30.08.2014 Copyright © All Rights Reserved Contest Name:Summer's End Sponsor:Kelly Deschler - Thanks for my 1st place in the contest - :)

To walk within the circle, to feel and understand the circle, to pause as the Earth turns revealing death on a grand scale only to be reborn, refreshed in a new circle as it moves with our preceptions around us bringing joy and sadness as each colored leaf turns brown, crumbling in our palms as dust, following the moving breath of Winter into the unknown...my first thoughts after reading your beautiful poem my poetic friend
