Return

It's officially fall! I wrote this about it:

Return

I have missed the sough and suss
of breeze through sleepy trees
in the shimmering heat of afternoon
sighing through full greened leaves...

Yoo long within walls and windows
shut against humid summer heat
anticipating greatly the arrival
the first snap of autumn sweet

Grateful to earth, smiling slowly
eyes closed, face turned to sun
silent prayer of thanks in knowledge
that our broiling season's soon done

I have missed the tease and tickle
of fall's cool, refreshing air - awaiting
flora’s delicate dance to so entrance
as oak's limbs once again are bared...
