A Harmonious Day
Waiting for Fall
Waves of cool breezes Forecasting fall As the leaves shimmer In the afternoon sun Of a waning August day
Waiting for fall The cool brisk days Filled with transparent skies The bounty of the harvest Blanketed with the silken threads Of fallen leaves Colored from nature’s paint box The fall wardrobe Of cozy cashmere Hidden away during the summer’s heat Tweeds in a herringbone pattern Jackets and long skirts Adorning men and women Wrapping body and soul In luxurious warmth Waiting for fall When music fills the air As birds in flight migrate And the downbeat of a symphony orchestra Marks the beginning of the new season Waiting for fall To heighten the senses With the aromas of cooking And the satisfied palate Of comfort foods Blended in the glory of fall days Filled with beauty And the sights and sounds Of fall

Seasonal flowers Still in full bloom In multi-colored splendor On the patio awaiting fall leaves To clothe it in a new palette
Walking along a beach At low tide Searching for driftwood Formed by the tides Into natural sculptures As the day recedes In the glow of the sunset And the star filled sky Transforms the hours Into the tranquility of night
