September

the languishing time 
life’s richness is muted
every note lowers—still sweet 
the pale tone won’t last long
raindrops could fall warm or cold
a single leaf drifts slowly to the ground
nature drowses for a brief stillness
only a moment
still plenty of painting to do

Hello, Beldon. Superb sentiment here, captured the change. Poem sits perfectly with some jazz piano.

Oh, amazing! You already have huge musical skill, flowing in you. Hadn't read your lyric 'Shine' until just now. No doubt your expanding talents will bolster your endearing verse even further.!

Thank you Sigrid, I like your jazz piano idea. I am learning piano, ever so slow and painfully. Old dog new trick :)
