The sun continues to shine
and the songbirds sweetly sing,
but the dog days of Summer
are on a steady decline.
The leaves are a vivid green
and the flowers are in bloom;
yet as temperatures drop,
Nature starts to change the scene.
The crops ripen in the field
as harvest time approaches
and ever so subtlety,
signs of Autumn are revealed.
There's a chill in the night air
as daylight hours slowly shrink,
and Summer disappears fast,
although it hardly seems fair.
Wild geese honking overhead
from a V-line to fly south,
and rather than eating nuts,
squirrels bury them instead.
Orange and scarlet leaves fall
to be scattered by the wind,
and when Autumn colors fade,
Winter's white will blanket all.
