Come September

last wisps of summer

float along the empty shore 

a cool mist slowly rolls in 

ready for change 


school bells ring   

lawn mowers silent 

squash left in the garden 


shadows get longer

waves catch soft light

sand pails abandoned  

beach plums wither 


along the shore line

sandpipers scatter

carrying summer secrets
