In twilight's early shadows, when summer has passed A wandering lost soul whose heart has strayed A soul adrift upon an autumn night Longing for love's warmth and to bathe in a deeper ecstasy Eyes once strong now weakened with age, blinded by tears Longing to be free In this autumnal time when some freedoms reign How wonderful it would feel to be free from all earthly pain Needing a connection and loving hands A kind soul to guide through the rest of this troubled land Just a few kind words and a gentle touch Would help this autumn to heal a heart Love a well-known awesome balm, would heal emotions, and Chase those shadows which tear us apart At summer's end when those dark, dark nights Appear upon the scene chasing my sad heart Let me find solace and a loving soul Who understands summer is gone Then winter will come, and we'll be alone The passage will open to carry us back home

Congratulations on your win. I enjoyed reading your wonderful "When Summer Is Gone" write. Many love the summer & will cry in a few week when it is gone. Do not worry for it will return. I will be happy to see/feel fall with the cooler days. What a pretty picture you have here... Have a wonderful day writing away................

Yes, the cycles of spring, summer, fall and winter do continue. I like the changes, but spring and fall are the best times as far as outdoor comfort are concerned. I have seasonal allergies so both of those are rough on me in that respect. Thanks for dropping by with congrats. Sara K

Dear Sara, I really think you speak artistically about life. Your images are showing loneliness, aging, and the desire for connection and comfort. Yes, I feel that life transitions from summer to autumn for me. For those of us over the age of 60, we face life's challenges, we long for love, understanding, and companionship to help us navigate the difficult times and find true peace through our Lord and Savior in our twilight years. - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Why, thank you, Daniel. I appreciate the kind review of my work. Yes, I am now way over sixty and sliding into my octogenarian years. Life has about been lived for us and it is not an easy part of life stages in which we find ourselves. Your visit is delightful. Sara K

Love this poem which is more philosophical than environmental. We have to be sensitive to the change that will come on man when summer fades and autumn and winter assail. It is a time when we long for love's warmth. Great poem, Sara.

Thank you, Valsa. Yes, it is more emotionally dramatic than about the environment. Your comments are encouraging. Sara K
