Summer Slipping Away

Late August evening’s high the sun set easing in deep and low loitering and hanging in the north western sky barely giving light to the world below. A mix of orangey reds drifting further down trailing below the purple blue hazed gray clouds, remnants of a cool off day spent in town and the populace hiding in night’s shrouds. Hazy bluish yellows peach blends linger across the western sky trailing sunset colors ascend and red burns flowing by. August comes to its end relaxing a quiet expose of summer life beach dancing and splashing ensued forgetting every struggled strife. The season quickly spent mid way and lost to the end of school's joyous screams and early vacations now exhaust holding out plans for next years dreams. Shadows begin to creep on a covey of small wrens exuding gladness for the coolness of the day in nite song and singing for tomorrow just around the bend promising to touch new themes both short and long Late July whispered long with silent goodbyes seemingly unchanged the truth is nothing is as vibrant, just forever rearranged. Say goodbye to summer, its end of day with July passed and spent as all begins to slip away the month of August promising greater intent. Take the days remaining and enjoy their sun glowed pleasures and time alone will recall the best displays for every moment lived with family and friends is a treasure in disappearing yesterdays. Speak to me of days past and gone reliving childhood hopes and dreams and in those sweet memories I carry on reveling in by gone days no longer to be seen.
