End of August…
Summer’s rest
From sunkist days
Whose blaze attests
To season’s sway
In temporal loop;
Consistency dissuading
The doubting heart,
Persistently reminding
Of my Creator’s love.

End of August…
Looking back,
The summer’s cycle
In growing plants.
From seed to seedling
To fruitful vine;
End of August,
The fruiting declines.

End of August…
Looking ahead;
Changing clime,
And the scent of the wind.
Harvest moon
Pervading my thought,
Though harvest time
Is still far off.

End of August…
Winter’s chill
Not yet in sight;
My thoughts shall dwell
Upon the end
Of August.
