Summer's End


Laughter in the sun
joy sounds in the heart of youth –
spring brings youth to all.

Footprints bend the grass
a soul passing by unseen –
summer wind saw it.

A single leaf falls
yellowish-gold sunlight fades –
fall flies with the geese.

Snowflakes touch the ground
pure white waves blown by the wind -
winter calls its own.
