Summer's End

something i captured when the world was wavering

As I walk I caught 

The kiss of a cool breeze

It radiates off the grass 

Where I watch the kids throw balls in the park

the sun sets so soon now and then 

It’s dark 

It’s been bright for so long that I cannot fathom 

The shortness of it

But I know it’s coming 

For I forgot about the quiet 

I’ve spent months running from it

Chasing the storms, roaring wind in my ears 

I thought I was getting somewhere 

it all felt so real

I forgot

To remember the bliss in the space 

Of what my life’s come to and what’s to come

To realize there’s still time 

Standing at the edge 

of summer's end 

You’re never too old to amend 

Love once thought lost 

 never bend so much one way 

That you forget to sway 

Silence is merciful 

I’ll sit in it while the Earth is still full, plentiful 

Grateful
