Summer Cusp Fall

…it’s here now, that cool feel,

and moisture…

moisture is back in the air, arid is temporarily halted,
hope seems a bit revived

and summer starts to wave farewell…

she is dawning
          a last look around the place
                           as she says to fall,

...take care, and color me well
                       these last few days of warm...

summer smiles and the mourning dove’s sound
is a deeper trill, wafting damply across the grass

the crickets seem eager, yet,
                   not as raucous but more in number,
                                                 singing into the early morning

and see the squirrels…
                   it is time to prepare
                          time to prepare

time…

and woman stands in bare feet,
                    as rolling clouds loom overhead with
                                                         the welcome gray of rain

now melting into her arms

as if to say
                                      there is still time for growth

…

the empty last few days
      left that bitter old well taste
             and she would rid of herself
                    those rusty old feelings

for she would dig again, a little deeper
                             and screw in a new brass hinge
                                     and throw down a new rope
                                            with a new bucket attached
                                                    just to see…

if her soul

survived the drought.

A softly and beautifully expressed farewell to summer.

~ and may autumn be ushered in as gently as summer leaves us...

Warm autumnal hugs,

Your poems create a tapestry with threads of many weights and colors. One of them is of a woman reaching down inside for a last, needed bit of courage and strength. Beautifully expressed.
It is always good to read your words. Ken

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light
