I watch as summer fades to past, and autumn shows her face, and yet, as autumn colors Earth, winter comes so fast. No more warmth, nor sunny days, snow white mountains fill the sky; gold and red do fade away, and all I can do is sigh. Too quickly do the seasons change, one by one, they disappear; and feelings that are ever strange, within me, quite austere. But I will stand atop this rock, hear the winds call my name; open my mind, breathe in, take stock, let the mountains, my soul, reclaim

Summer warmth has quickly passed
Shadows cover the afternoon
Flora begins to curl in the light
With autumn’s approach, I quietly swoon
As morning dew, with a frosty breath
Blankets each petal with rime
Her sign, of seasons changing
As the moon begins to climb
I watch the days grow darker
Ah, tis when I release my passion
For falling leaves, and autumn’s chill
To which my heart, I fashion

The day had been so very hot
The AC was on the blink
I wanted something icy cold
Maybe just something to drink
I opened up the freezer
Wondering what there was
Inside, just waiting for me
YES! A pint of Haagen Dazs
I grabbed the small container
And a sugar cone, my favorite
Scooped the cold confection
And just as I began to savor it
My telephone started ringing
This really wasn’t the time
I’d let it go, not answer it
But, hey, it’s not my dime
I needed to put my cone down
So, on the table, I placed a plate
But when I came back minutes later
Alas, it surely was too late
A puddle merely sat there
The cone was empty and bare
The heat of the day had done its worst
I simply sat down in my chair
Saddened by what had happened
I took a moment to sit and think
Then lifting the plate up to my lips
I smiled, and took that drink
See, even though it had melted
The ice cream was as smooth as silk
I guess it’s true, about what they say
There’s no use crying over spilled milk
