Life’s flowers and flaws
Warm air creeps as spring retreats
Hopeful yet confused
Gazing over hydrangeas 
Can’t wait for bright autumn leaves

such a lovely painting---Can&#8217;t wait for bright autumn leaves

The seasons know their ripening
we should in patience wait
their beauty is blemished by our hurrying
how then could we ever celebrate?

Beautiful though summer is all too short and unreliable here. The autumn leaves can wait a bit longer. :)
