Autumn Whispers

The summer days are fading, as they must

From endless hours to short and fleeting light

The bird's once bright, immortal tune, now cries

A melancholy aura to the dusk

The children fiercely climb, and dream, and race

Before their wild and unchained days depart

And yet beneath the zeal lies a half heart

For there isn't time, there's only enough space

The sun seems low, a hazy orange sphere

Now reminiscing sweetly of the days

When endlessly before you summer lay

And as in the deep, crimson dusk you stir

Your soul joins with the birds in wistful brood

Crying for lost summer days, for childhood

 "THE END OF SUMMER"

by Shannon Georgia Schaubroeck


It was still
dark when I
awoke this
morning to
take Gracie out....
Which portends, to
me, more than
anything else,
that summer 
is closing the
door
and saying
good-bye.




{Thank you
all for your
strong, warrior-like
and loving
comments about
the poor dogs
that I was able
to assist last weekend.
I'm sure
hoping that I
can hang up
my super-hero
dog-saving cape,
for a while.
You are ALL the
best and inspire
me in ways you
can never
imagine.}


I'm linking up to
Kathleen at Faded Charm
for White Wednesday.
