August Ending
The breeze cool and refreshing
colors paled pastel exhibitors
lipstick pinks, buttered yellows, creamy peach,
alabaster whites, orange tangerine, wintery blues;
August cools ratcheting down
the once oppressive heat
relief, respite, balming appeasement,
comforting solace and escape
readying flesh and bone
for autumn colors to return
burnished bronze, pumpkin melons, candy corn mix,
bittersweet crimson corals, mustard green cornsilk;
roan toasted grasses,
ready for winter sleep
dancing in ivory discotheque
escape to renewal and rebirth
as August nears the end.
