Crisp air envelopes my lungs and I breathe deeply taking in August's monologue I fade into Summer's passing song Holding tightly to the moment and every loving thought because too soon it will be gone The grass beneath my feet tickles my playful nature Where once as a young hopeful observer my toes knew the sensation Intimately I am morphing into a different breed As cunning as a fox I let the fear displace and grace the day with curiosity and ambitious velocity Ready for anything and everything to come my way No longer waiting I'm joining the chase
