A little bit of pixie dust
Lay scattered, on the ground
Magically, the trees would change
Their colors, quite profound
A mystical elfin treasure
Mother Nature put on land
She’d color the world in a beautiful way
Autumn, she said, must be grand!
But in order for this to happen
No color could this sprite contain
She must leave it behind in the forest
Until winter came calling again
It was only then she could reclaim
The beauty she left behind
Waiting for autumn to return once more
Was all that she had on her mind

Watching waves, cresting, high
Those summer days did seem to fly
Then autumn came in, with a sigh
Followed by winter’s icy cry
Awaiting spring, new life I’d spy
And oh the days, still drifting by
The seasons of our lives

Labor Day…the last official weekend of the summer…sigh
Soon night will fall much too soon
As seasons once again commune
For summer says its last goodbyes
And ocean’s shore quietly sighs
No more footprints in the sand
No more people getting tanned
No more beaches left to roam
We’ve packed and now are headed home
To once again, forget the haze
We lived in, all these summer days

Days pass, lazily, in the haze of summer
Nights become cooler, anticipation sets in
The subtle autumn air teases, but waits
She knows this is not her time, not quite yet
The cliché, dog days of summer, unfulfilled
Brown grasses and wilted flowers, her signal
To bring her vibrancy to the earth, colors
Which paint the skies, an artist’s palette
The trees, her easel, the leaves, her brush
Always a masterpiece, her yearly creation
