summer of summering's quickened sun ...

a waning summer's stay
calls upon fall's crisp ear
seed to flower to seed
come to their full circles

chase the spray of flying creatures
flown away to heated feeding fields
soaring Vs above auburn trees
catching drafts upon an open wing

refreshing early eve's chilling sprawls
as brave crickets croak into unnight
some to last 'til a first frost's bite
seeking entry to a warming cove's light

our wait's length measured not
'til days of gold and red arrive
captured fragrant burning leaves
arouse aromatic memories of our lives

summer of summering's quickened sun
speeding light escapes our spaces
retreat against Indian skies to come
return once more to warm our faces

My calling before me, let quill be my offering;
For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.

M.A. You've taken me by the hand, right into the world of autumn's approach. A lovely journey.
