Aurevoir Kiss

Undoubtedly the last beautiful sunny summer day Hoped for yet so unexpected happy effervescence No clouds in the sky gentlest breeze stirring the bouquet Clinging to every last loving shred of benevolence Everyone so aware this day is but an aurevoir So much better than any shot of adrenaline As the doddering sun remorsefully kisses our skin Awake soaking in all that warm sunspun honey nectar Seems birds butterflies and bees all astir Hustle their one last dance before the snow Though it may not fall upon us tomorrow It lurks we all know just around that corner Golden glow on ecstatic grinning silhouettes Quivering translucent gold sprinkles on charades Take heed moments of borrowed time when the sun sets Gone the last summer whirl for fall crispness invades AP: Honorable Mention 2023, Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on October 7, 2017 for CONTEST NO.345 sponsored by BRIAN STRAND
