~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

August whispers its gentle goodbye Painting the moments in fragile sighs Escaping summer with its blue sky Listening to winds as they chastise Blurring all hopes, all dreams and designs Painting the moments in fragile sighs Rains rush to the earth, stirring headlines The season turns dark, hushing the sun Blurring all hopes, all dreams and designs Warm inklings, August won’t be outdone Captive of the song telling what’s gone The season turns dark, hushing the sun Seasonal bliss we’ll take a chance on Summer’s past, ultimately, we’ll rest Captive of the song telling what’s gone Without doubt, August’s been rightly blessed August whispers its gentle goodbye Summer’s past, ultimately, we’ll rest Escaping summer with its blue sky

Wow that opening is so melodious. Absolutely love the way you’ve written this. Painting the moment in fragile sighs! Made me also sigh. How heartfelt and poetic is that. I am never one for goodbyes, they are hard, but reading this, makes me think, goodbyes never sounded so beautiful ever before this. One of my faves

I can't describe in words that how beautiful your poem is... the way you've described the nature is truly awe-inspiring.
