September

September slipped in on the wind a gentle light breeze of warmth sliding in between the clouded sky pale blue powder dusting the sun. The garden yawned preparing for rest each flower breathed a last final effort a bloom ready to rest to return in spring blinking sleepily at the end of a season. Labored day stretching into autumn arrivals of pumpkin oranges and decorative colored gourds dried Indian corn ready for the herds feeding pacing through the dry fields of brown beige. Grasslands lose their colors bending inching closer to embrace the earth soaking in the final rays of summer light to sleep in the arms of winter approach. September turns the calendar sun and fun ease in to slow where time inches forward looking back to where it's been.
