Indian Summer

warm and hazy days of gold
the jewel in summer's crown
unrivaled in the splendor
of her burnished gown

brushed with frost and falling leaves
her  glory much too brief
the black and white of wintertime
comes as natures thief

only her memory remains
faint in the frosty air
how I long to feel again
those days so warm and fair
indian summer
