Late Summer Eve
How many more late summer eves will I see
where the sunsets amber and tress
stare silent and patient waiting for autumns stirring breezes.
How many more late summer eves will I see where flocking
birds fly effortlessly overhead with barely a headwind
to struggle against, seeking to nest before the dark of warm
night.
How many more late summer eves will I see where it's so quiet
and still that I'm certain that this moment will
last forever like every other moment lasts forever.
