Echoes of summer fill the air <br />where barefoot children danced and played <br />grassy meadows now lie bare <br />in a seasonal passing parade <br /> <br />Lingering patches of green turn gold <br />as reflecting heaven’s gentle turning <br />glowing embers of August grow cold <br />while trees take on a velvety burning <br /> <br />Crimson spatters garnet tessellations <br />poised upon the breath's chilling <br />ricochet in frenzied coloration's <br />provide a view that is thrilling <br /> <br />Grace and splendor reflect this glory <br />color upon elegance in radiance <br />Nature whispers her ancient story <br />mirrored here in quiet resplendence <br /> <br />These are days of transitory beauties <br />when scurried creatures prepare for freeze <br />ants and insects do their duties <br />while wishes whisper through the trees<br /><br />Astral Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/echoes-of-summer/
