Goodbye Summer
Today, I see my brisk, cold breath, a shadow in front of my face, as I slowly come to terms with the fact that our summer season is leaving without a trace. The summer fruits are losing their taste and beginning to wither, no longer juicy and sweet, but only bitter.
The watermelon has lost its sweetness, I so desire.
I will have to consider the idea of completely changing my attire.
I’ll wave farewell to the warm beaches and sun-kissed skin.
I’ll soon be back to my porcelain complexion once again
So long to the hyper focus of wanting to be thin
Adieu to the crop tops and dresses breezing through the wind.
Sitting back and soaking in each warm day till our summer comes to an end.
I won’t be dancing around the sunflowers that have so gracefully bloomed time and time again.
They’ve made their presence known, stocky and green, towering over me with their heavy leaves and prickly spines
They are so divine with vibrant yellow petals that shine like the sun.
Growing in rows one by one
Bobbing and weaving through the fields, I could capture photos
and smile with each one surrounded by its rich brown centers filled with seeds
How they fill my heart with so much glee
My grandma passed two summers ago, and every sunflower is a reminder of her presence that softens my sorrow. through every flower that blooms, there's a warmth in my heart that I consume
A loving symbol through nature, my grandma’s always here
I’ll miss the flowers in bloom illuminated through the windows in my room.
The gloomy days are coming soon
The leaves will begin to fall, raining from the trees, green and tall
Our leaves will cover the ground and turn a burnt orange and brown
Tree branches will be bare like a lady without any hair.
The sandals will rest on my shelf
collecting dust till the next warm season comes through
I’ll soon find fleece sweaters for myself
Thick wool socks and long pants, too.
The sky will turn a deep, dark hue of blue
Rain will thunder down
Lightning will pierce the sky and
Summer will soon have to say goodbye.
I will send kisses to the sky till we meet again
Goodbye, Summer, my old friend.
