Summer
has grown heavy
and dropped from its stem.
The sun sleeps in
a little longer,
leaves the party a bit earlier.
Last night
felt almost like fall
while today is
crisp and sunny.
The leaves are still green
but a shade paler;
chlorophyll
begins to recede.
Time
to change.
Welcome back,
my dearest Autumn.
Beautiful words, although summer hasn’t quite left yet, where I am.
