SUMMER’S END

The summer came
like a whisper
dancing
in her hair,
wishing he would
care
and dream
and stop
the carousel
until he heard
her truth
until he brought
her youth
back
laughing
to her eyes,
she wanted him
still
until
too late…
but time
would never
wait,
would never be…
and she was free
for sand castles
and dreams,
the summer schemes
so sweet
so new,
so old…
the story told,
the heavens
blend
the love lives on
‘til
summer’s end.
