Summer's End

The season is changing
from  hot, dry days of summer
to cooler, crisp autumn weather.
i no longer wear  knee-length shorts
and sleeveless tee's
on my morning walk
but long jeans and a  light weight
sweat shirt.
The tree leaves are  a bright yellow gold,
not the deep green of
June, July and August
 while the  sun rises  later
bringing first  light to
 beckon the  day;
and setting earlier
to darken the cloudy sky -  a reminder
winter is on the way.
