Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

Summer Speeds By

Old brown leaves from last fall, spread down the wooded hillside
Soon to be covered with new colorful leaves this year
I passed a tree already turning a bright color of red
I suppose it won’t be long now, before the rest follow
The blanket of green fern are standing tall beneath the pines
The sun fleets in and out of the large passing clouds
Some gray ones lurk above, wanting to bring more rain
But, the ground is already wet, soaked from earlier times
That flattened leaves, and turned the colors in the trees
                        --- As summer speeds by ---

Emile Pinet August 20, 2017 at 4:35 PM The conscious mind extends itself beyond our norms and we enter a world composed of reality defused with imagination, where nature is often tentative and so precious as to awe us with its beauty and scare us with its fragility. Well written. Emile. Heidi Sands August 20, 2017 at 7:42 PM Thank you for your visit and comment Emile! :)
