Mellowing September sun casts lighter shadow
As summer dreams cool beneath the balding trees
And ripened fruits bow the branches in encore
Sweet cool winds blow cheerily like minted breath,
swaying long trampled blades of abandoned grass.
Chasing confused and tired bees and wasps
Whipping and tossing earth-litter, granting wings.
Blue moments of sky vie with silver tinged clouds,
fighting to dominate the space left by the sun.
Earth matures in vibrant color under the drying breeze.
Golden and deepening russet shyly blushes her surface.
After-sun glow like a bronzed tan adorns the forests.
Heavy notes of almost forgotten foreign raindrops drum,
pounding and pattering down valleys and across dales.
Drenching rain parches land in a wash of floating leaves,
that find their way to swollen rivers and out to sea.
September soil prepares to part with it’s final harvest
And make way for winters crusty cover of cleansing frost.

Even prettier than the old 1938 standard of the same name.
Wonderful work.
