Full-Term

Grieving the loss of Summer and embracing her as she births Autumn.

Final day of Summer

and I muse on the breezes …

Like the Spirit Who blows

wherever He pleases.

A certain sadness nearby

as her exit draws near

For Summer’s fully-ripened presence

has been fulfilled here.

And I sense her travail

to bring about a new birth

As the faint signs of Autumn

appear on the earth.

We embrace one last day

while she bears down with her all

For in just a few hours,

she will bring forth fall.
