As Fall Reawakens

As Fall Reawakens







A cool breeze assaults the heat

     of another summer afternoon

Bringing relief and a hint

     of fall lingering on the horizon

A new season cooling the air

     and painting the trees a myriad of hues

Festival glories revisiting daydreams

     with harvests and goblins and beer fests galore

A time for reflection as days slowly shorten

     and nights cool for sleeping content and relaxed

As fall reawakens splendid sensations

     of cool breezes assaulting another summer day
