Summer Valediction

Muted swans in silent waters watch as swallows spiral upwards far away into the distance. Vibrant flowers lose their beauty, Fading, wilting, meekly dying as the summer's sad surrender honours autumn's golden reign. 07.09.19 Farewell, Summer Poetry Contest : sponsored by Nette Onclaud
