The Pause Between Summer And Autumn

Air feels like silk but, outside there’s a chill The sun hangs low, like it’s waiting to thrill Heat’s in my skin humming soft and slow Gold drips down slow where the late daylight flows Fields hold their breath caught between green and gold Half awake, half dreaming stories untold Dancing right there where sweat meets the cold Fire and frost sharing the seasons hold It’s not goodbye, it’s just a quiet pause Like lovers knowing what’s coming because One last sip of heat before colors fade In this in-between that’s where magic’s made 8/10/25 Sponsor: Nette Onclaud Contest: Seasons Now And After
