End of Summer For Sure - Version 2 - Hopeful
Looking out my window this 38 degree morning
I saw that:
The bushes are weighted down
with the moisture;
the droplets on the verge of
morphing into ice;
hunkering against the cold.
The weeds are dead and stiff
with the end of a dry season;
now wet, turned into intensely
deep shades of brown
and ochre.
The tall un-mown grasses
are matted down
by leaves fallen at season's end,
gathering the moisture,
ready to rest from summer's toil
in a quiet and peaceful
dormancy.
