The cooling trend - August 19, 2000

As summer nears an end
the crisp autumn winds
steal away the lingering warmth
from these fleetingly hot days
that are already fading
in our memories

As the verdant colours of summer
give way to bright reds
and dark golds,
the skies deepen to a grey
in the early morning light
as a faint layer of dew
glistens
