Last Day of Summer
squeezed like an orange to get the last drop
craving solar energy's darts of elixir
extracting the last of summer vitality
in an eleventh hour effort
to caress every curve
of this diverse globe
meanwhile wishes and prayers
are tossed freely just
in case anyone out there
makes a career of hauling in
hopes and dreams cast out
desperately to the sky above
heartwrenching as it may be
a heartfelt goodbye
poignant as if it might be the last
should life never wake
from harshness of oncoming winter
