Description

Summer’s last 

I left the summer 

this evening, 

quietly walking home, 

as she whispered 

across the fields, 

for I could see 

she was alone, 

for above 

the stars were weeping, 

many slipping 

from the evening sky, 

‘farewell,’ 

they seemed to tremble, 

as she bowed 

to the harvest moon, 

and sang 

a slow goodbye, 

And in her arms 

were apples 

full and rounded, 

blushing, 

from the late 

afternoon sun, 

So I stopped 

took one,

and listened 

to the silence, 

the last 

of summer 

to remember, 

the memories 

and laughter, 

in colour 

the fallen leaves

that autumn

had left undone.
