sultry summer days
maples will soon mourn their leaves
for Fall approaches
on Nature's rush of chill winds
another seasonal change
Just around the corner,
Laughing leaves and colors
Crimson, boldest orange
Golden joys, whimsical
Songs in breathless notes
Praises from the heart…
Who hears the flow of rain
Falling against the eaves,
Delicate melody of grace
Expressing what it means…
To feel the comfort of knowing
Autumn’s still voice
Is rising on the hills, coloring
The whole world in joy
Felt by those who know Him,
The One who wrote the story
Leafy notes of praise…
Rise from the spirit who grows
Quiet and reflective,
Sensing the wonder stirred
By the wistful leaves, the mist
Beyond the streams, the ridges
Blessings in notes of hope…
Found by those who hear
His still, small voice
In the hesitant prayers
Of a hesitant owl, a deer
A bouncing squirrel, preparing
For winter’s bitter frost…
And the night remembers
What it means to breathe in
The softest wind, the praise
Sounding like moon’s light, vibrating
Pouring out faith with each note,
From the feelings brought to life
By hearts who feel Autumn inside.
Storm came from nowhere
Hope this won't ruin affair
Amber eyes so bright
Spring season mirror says right
I whisper being your knight
Freezing weather
Stay in bed Weather
Cuddle close weather
Ignore the world weather.
Renewal weather
Budding trees weather
Begin new life weather
Awakening blooms weather
Sweltering Weather
Cooling swim weather
Walking in shade weather
Relaxing drink weather
Reflection weather
Rustling Leaves Weather
Foggy morning weather
Abundant harvest weather.
Quote
May is the month of promise and the sweet beginnings of Summer
author Unknown
The last month of autumn for me is May
Our sunny blue skies make way for the grey.
Leaves flutter down, making trees cold and bare
Mornings are cooler with mist in the air.
Soon May will leave us, as winter takes hold
Fire's will light up to keep out the cold.
So, while you enjoy your spring there in May
Wait for the summer to brighten your day
The seasons will change in each hemisphere
While you have summer, it is winter here.
(One liner).
Season's smiles for thee, all for free.
Chin up, son
It's just another wave
tree-silhouettes dance
lights and shadows hide and seek ~
nestless birds still sing
gentle waltz of fall
falling leaves shadow the soul
memory’s faint call
She’s got a soul of summer
And regret-filled eyes.
She needs love like her bones need her skin,
Like they’d crack and splinter and snap
Inside her ribs
from the pounding of her lonely heart.
She looks out her window to the
dark, gray winter
and prays that the heat outside
would match the warmth in her heart.
She wishes on unmoving stars
And tries not to think about the boy
That she would have opened a vein for
Last May.
She sees the sun peering through the trees above,
And the trees below the big, bright sky.
She hears turtle doves and smells citrus
And wonders how anyone could think
That god is a man.
The ocean breeze can’t reach her here.
There is no wind, no sun.
The salt and sand and sweet green grass
Stick to her elbows and knees
And she’s smiling so much it hurts.
She hopes the summer can see her grief
And waits patiently for her to
Return with open arms.
The scars of autumn and the
Pain of winter and the
Texts she can never bring herself to delete
Will stay with her.
But they’ll be warmer.
It’s beautiful outside
And she’s alone in her room
Wondering if the summer misses her, too
leaves fall, silently
trail of tears, lonely, sensing
grief of November
Lunenburg, small town.
Beckoning in warmer months,
Asleep in the cold.
Lunenburg, quiets.
Visitors venture homeward.
She's ours once more.
Lunenburg, silent streets.
The season has come and gone.
Through the cold we wait.
Lunenburg, warm sun.
The salt air guides you home -
visit, stay, welcome.
My town, salty air.
Smells, sounds, of industry gone.
Rejuvenated.

Photosynthesis
Produces food in the spring
For Summer’s harvest:-
Then comes Fall’s prep for Winter:
Resurrecting Spring, pregnant:-
nature delivers surprising gifts - when seasons change and weather shifts
The closing of summer season
brings a hint of sadness
long evenings filled with light
and early mornings bright
will soon disappear
darkness will start early
night hours become long
coldness will close in
as winter begins to arrive
the colours of fall will fade
land will become barren
giving into the coldness
as the earth slowly freezes
everything goes into hibernation
as it slowly awaits the spring melt
within all four cycles
we sometimes wish for two
but what is Christmas
without the falling snow.
