Waiting On September

Still bearing the heat
Of summer's final ember,
At my shaded window seat
... Waiting on September 

No sign as of yet ...
The leaves, pretty green,
Where embers had not met
To set ablaze the scene

But, gold will come
Then orange, then red,
On marigold and mum
Along my flower bed

Then to the treetops 
As they surrender,
To temperature's drops
... Waiting on September.
