Dennis Spilchuk Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Goodbye Summer

Goodbye Summer

Warm blood circulating through the labyrinth of veins
Fuels contemplation of time, space, and being
And rushes the mind with a reflection of freshness,
Encouraging procrastination on leaving.

Put away finger-counting days for seasonal change
And see the frailty of spirit compared to water.
Feel the breeze sweep across the sea and breathe deep the air,
And don’t wish for the panorama to remain dormant.

But say, “Goodbye summer! I enjoy your season
And am thankful to be alive in your presence.”
Tomorrow’s labours will sustain earthly existence,
And summer reminiscence will ease worldly tensions.

Bill Baker September 10, 2023 at 12:32 AM Back to read this once again, my friend. I really like this work of art. The poetry and the matching photo. I particularly like the enlargement of the man standing by the window. It makes the artwork striking. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us through your poetry, Dennis.
