Shift in the Cycle

A seasonal poem about summer becoming fall.

Shift in the Cycle

Sunsets fall like shooting stars.

Trees with their leaves

start to shift from

vibrant greens to soft reds

and yellows.

The ground starts to die and decay,

to prepare for the next bloom.

Tank-tops and shorts become

T-shirts, sweaters, and jeans.

A calm hung in the air,

an open greeting to all.

Clouds start to get bigger

and grayer with each

passing day.

Winds start to become

colder and more frequent.

A part of the cycle,

a splice of life,

summer has gone,

yet autumn has arrived.
