Half Past Summer, Two Months Till Fall

How could I ignore the dance of a leaf
  Cascading with warm summer brushed in gold--
  Lovers tasting the quiet of relief
       A contentment  lit  amidst north-winds cold…
And autumn comes...its charm and flair too brief!

Dear Nette, Reading your lines felt like standing in a sun-drenched meadow just before the chill sneaks back into the air. I think that you capture so perfectly that golden lull between seasons where lovers savor the moment, and even the wind’s edge feels gentle. I sense that it is both romantic and wise. Summer Blessngs, My Dear Nette, Daniel
