Written: September 1st, 2023 ______________________________________________________________ Has my brain become scrambled, I wonder? As the sun retreats, I sigh away the day. A song of sorrow takes hold, my heart does ponder, In the shadowlands, where tears sing and play. I crave the freedom of a bird, To soar above the silver waves, Escaping behind the chaos, unheard, To find solace in the quiet caves. As I crest the silence, amidst jarred swarms Seeking solace in sun-woven serenata. Eternal reflections dance in the sea storms, Lamenting souls' journey, caught in a lyrical sonata. Whispers of the cease of summer cram the air, As the days grow shorter and the nights grow cold. The world around me seems to wear a somber stare, As nature's beauty unfolds. The waves crash upon the shore, Their rhythm was a lullaby for my soul. I listen to the Symphony of the Sea, As it sings of the summer's toll. The wind whispers secrets in my ear, Of memories lost and dreams unfulfilled. I close my eyes and let the sorrow sear, Knowing that summer had ended, my heart stilled. But amidst the melancholy, a stillness descends, A moment of peace in the chaos of life. I find solace in the whispers of the end, In the serenata of the night. The stars above twinkle with a gentle glow, Guiding my painful soul toward tranquility. The moon's soft light casts a soothing shadow, As I reach comfort in the night's serenity. Summertime is at last drawing to an end, Leaving behind memories and lessons learned. In the whispers of the night, I find solace, As the world around me continues to turn flawless.
