YES, I see the slanted light
filtering through the trees
a warmer yellow
tinged with orange
YES, I see the sunflowers
stooped with age
dropping their seeds
like raindrops
YES, I feel a subtle drop in
the temperature
BUT
no sweaters yet
YES, I see stores filled,
virtual waterfalls of school supplies
waiting a place
in a shiny new back pack.
But NO, summer can't just drift away like that.
There is so much to miss about SUMMER
but we aren't there YET!
Toss those shoes aside and run through the grass.
Sharon - a simply beautiful ode to summer.
ReplyDeletefun, fun, fun!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely -- I'm going to miss everything about summer but I also look forward to winter.
ReplyDeleteI'm not ready for summer to end!! And there's nothing like walking on grass barefoot... well except walking on the beach barefoot!! I haven't done that yet this summer so it can't end yet!! Lovely post.
