~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Summer turned away, escaping my praise Risking dreams from yesterday, shadows grew Dating hope and faith, the love story knew This is beautiful whose more than a phase Stars glistened in the night, erasing tears Summer turned away, escaping my praise Winds of elation smiled through autumn’s gaze Drifting on seas of gentle, ending fears Seasons filled with wonders hushed suspicion Worries brought to life by the darkest days Summer turned away, escaping my praise Deep peace convinces of love’s transition Prayers remind of grace that will amaze As Summer departs, Autumn whispers peace Graceful glory, a season’s masterpiece Summer turned away, escaping my praise

The change from summer to autumn is beautifully caught. Love the whole poem especially the line- "Winds of elation smiled through autumn’s gaze". Lovely rhyming and beautiful flow.
