The Closing of Summer

I see the buzzing of a bumble bee,
    and hear the hummingbird’s sweet tune-
        I know summer is closing for the year,
            as watch the rising of the harvest moon.

I know the days get much shorter,
    and the twilight arises as the sun soon fades-
        But nothing compares to the sights I see,
            of the Autumnal crimson leaflet blades.

Autumn is here. Those colors must captivate. Thank you for this taste of autumn.
