Late Summer Afternoon
Late Summer and
the afternoon afforded
splendid sights,
and sounds,
and warmth,
amidst the breeze,
sounding
through the trees.
The sun shone,
vivifying
the body with
its soothing rays
after a chill
start
to the day.
A cool wind,
breezy at first,
then
stronger and stronger,
collecting a chill
about us that
seemed to come
as a calling card,
notifying us
that Winter will,
in time,
come
and have its way
with us.
Meanwhile,
ducks paddle,
and plump geese
fluff up themselves
against the wind.
A pleasant afternoon.
Sequestered serenity,
Before the week becomes.
