Slow Death of Summer
The wind whispers in the trees,
Softly sighing.
Weeping leaves rain down to the ground
And the carpet of grass lies
Drying, dying to golden brown.

Beautifully expressed.
That’s the way I felt every autumn.
I’m so happy to live in Florida where the winter is no more than a brief blip on the radar.

When I lived in KwaZulu-Natal on the east coast it was like that too, Nancy, but I am really enjoying having seasons defined not only by the weather but by nature as well.

We had Flamboyant trees in Natal – wonderful to look at and the shade was always so welcome too!

Beautifully done in this metaphor of death and grief Adeeyoyo,- we are having the same tawny coloured burst here – it’s one of the few aspects of the season I enjoy
