As It Turns to Go

late summer
sunshine and breezes

at least in here
they are breezes
or when one
is tucked up
next to a building

outside
it’s a wind
a true wind
singing the chimes
almost continually

odd,
though,
comforting,
even,
how the chimes
add a gentleness
to the air
as it wafts
in one door and
out the other

it’s a day
that begs one
to rest
to lay aside concerns
and bathe
in the peace
of the waning summer
as it gently kisses
“Good-bye,”
with fewer degrees
and oft-broken rays

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Oh yes, indeed...I could feel it...what a wonderful feeling of contentment it brought...still I will miss summer...
