End of Summer
The stage is set, colors bold,
Windy waltz stirs young and old.
Leaves of amber, gold, and red,
Dance where green life once spread.
Laughter echoes in the air,
Children play without a care.
Sun, though warm, begins descent,
Marking days well-spent.
Birds now start their southbound flight,
Against the backdrop of fading light.
The world prepares for autumn’s sweep,
As summer’s curtain starts to creep.
Lakes reflect the skies so blue,
Mirroring a season bidding adieu.
With each gust, the story nears close,
A tale of life that flows.

Golden Hour Goodbye
Shadows stretch long,
Summer fades slow,
Sun dips in sky,
Golden, soft glow.
Leaves start to turn,
Breezes cool, light,
Day slips to night,
Farewell, warm sight.
Birds sing their last,
In twilight's arms,
Fields hold the charm,
Of summer's past.
Children's laughter,
Echoes so clear,
Final cheer,
Till next year.
Golden hour ends,
With soft goodbye,
Under the sky,
Summer bends.

Waning Waves
Waves retreat in soft, gentle glide,
Sunset’s glow on ocean’s skin,
Summer’s end with ebbing tide.
Children’s laughter, fading wide,
Footprints washed where dreams begin,
Waves retreat in soft, gentle glide.
Seagulls call, the beach now sighed,
Whispers of where we’ve been,
Summer’s end with ebbing tide.
Stars emerge as day subsides,
Memories linger thin,
Waves retreat in soft, gentle glide.
Night enfolds the ocean wide,
Cool breeze wraps the shoreline in,
Summer’s end with ebbing tide.
With these moments, hearts abide,
Till next year’s warmth again,
Waves retreat in soft, gentle glide,
Summer’s end with ebbing tide.

In the late summer light,
Flowers cling to the sun,
As days become undone.

While autumn waits along.
Last blooms in the breeze,
Nature's gentle tease,
Before the fall arrives,
And summer bids goodbyes.
