In Near Future
I see the end of summer
Labor Day the last hurrah
Leaves and rain race each other
Puddles of color
Corn and pumpkins center stage
Holidays appearing soon
Old year giving way to new
With bold promises
Shadows in the crystal ball
Brother’s face fades in and out
Fearing to look far ahead
I avert my eyes
Joyce Johnson 9/9/11
For Linda Marie’s contest “Crystal Ball” won no.8
