Awaiting Autumn

The leaves are starting to turn 

And are becoming crisp-like apples

My heart leaps up at their return

And I watch the sunlight as it dapples.

As their dresses of red, orange, and gold

Dance across the meadow

They are a delight for my eyes to behold

And the birds play songs that are mellow.

 

But the sunlight is still so glaring 

And the flowers are still in bloom

As the crowds flock to the beach.

It seems summertime is daring

Temperatures of a hundred loom

And lovely fall is still out of my reach.

I wrote this piece in the middle of summer during miserable high temperatures and i just wanted fall to be here.
