In Summer’s Wake

Posted on September 22, 2016December 8, 2016 by Leonas Lines

Sunshine still streams

Bringing Summerlike weather

On the 1st day of Autumn

Yet, a leaf falls on the path

As if to say Summer’s gone

Last day of Summer 2016

Sun shines so brightly

Upon dew soaked flora

Tis the last day of Summer

Arise! Wake from slumber

Treasure every moment!
