When summer ends, The air is strange, the mood estranged, Winds begin, heat descends, One wends one’s way Across a browning lawn To go back to the city, town.
Winter coming. Urban living, job or studies, Plain old washing dishes humming. Kids in school again. It could be you relax again.
When summer ends, Visits, guests and nature over. Leisure, in so many ways, But as in everything, the flip side too.
Summer, fall and winter blends Into one year Again As in Its antecedents. Life goes on.
When Summer Ends 8.23.2017 Circling Round Nature II: Arlene Corwin
It's August. Summer is ending. All the signs are here.
