Summer's End
The trees succumb quietly
to a languishing lull
where neither breeze nor gust rises.
The hovering quiet stillness
remains untouchable
for only a moment or two more.
The calm rush ensues
hurried whispers in the branches
dancing wildly upon the leaves.
It is an early morning swan song
singing softly of the summer's end
taking in that last hot breath of time.
The trees begin to show their color change
just a hint of pastel shaded hues,
light yellows, pale reds, peachy orange with sky blues.
A slow enticing change embracing
as the earth and trees begin to slowly undress
gathering in spring and summer's bounty.
Too soon that magnificence
will be barren and naked
standing fully revealed in the wind.
