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 wish not 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.

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. A poet friend in Texas, Bill
