Summer Collapsed into Fall
Sunsets linger low, shadows blend,
Leaves begin to glow, branches bend.
Birds take flight, southward skies,
Crickets at night sing goodbyes.
Flowers fade, petals ground,
Nature trades, world around.
Bees hum soft as air cools down,
Harvest moons, fields in gown.
Squirrels scurry fast, storing finds,
Summer’s spell, fall in minds.
Golden haze, shorter days,
Nature’s phase, summer’s ways.
Butterflies seek resting place,
Gentle breeze, cooler grace.
Deer with antlers roam the deep,
Crisp air where summer sleeps.
Fruit ripens in orchard’s care,
Leaves brighten, autumn shares.
Streams slow, twilight’s call,
Seasons flow, summer to fall.
Meaning

Inspiration Behind
I am inspired by the gentle transformation that marks the end of summer. Observing how different elements in nature respond to the changing season—the behaviors of animals, the color of leaves, and the ripening of fruits—reminds me of the intricate balance in the natural world. It’s a beautiful, quiet transition that often goes unnoticed.
