The End of August
Leaves blush with shades of fire,
Sun dips a little lower,
The wind carries cooler air,
August begins to show her.
The flowers hold their last dance,
Red hues start to weave the scene,
Fields wave to the golden days,
A soft shift feels serene.
Shadows stretch and softly lean,
Skies trade blue for dusky hue,
Change is gentle, not yet harsh,
Nature’s rhythm starts anew.
Soon, the warmth will start to fade,
But now, colors sing and shine,
End of August, sweet and bright,
A farewell that's so divine.
