(William Shakespeare)
“Beyond the silence of summer's end”
awaits fixed seasons to behold.
Mature, long days of summer's blend
adjust for new days to unfold.
From flowers, bright among lush greens,
the summer wanes from its debut
and sheds its vibrant, painted scenes-
replaced, as fading ones ensue.
At first, beset by summer's frown,
the autumn starts a subdued stage
of faded green and burnished brown-
until acceptance does assuage.
Then, gracefully, it soon achieves
a fulfilled glory, all its own!
With brilliant colors- paints its leaves
to crown what summer bliss had grown.
So, this is life- each season brings
a time to augment its planned stay.
At summer's end, new era springs-
to live next season the best way.
