The End of Summer Blues   (photo of Lake Tahoe 2008) Just for an instant, One single stunning instant, I’m eagerly eating The last of the summer’s watermelons And snacking on the last Of the succulent black berries Gracefully growing On a wild summer’s vine For just one sweet summer season One wonderful summer’s season I’m gratefully dancing, Dancing in the sunshine Loving it, in the summer’s sunshine Holding onto it, and making it mine In just one second, One amazing single second I’m eating the last Of my melted ice cream In my suddenly emptied spoon And in just one fleeting moment Just one swiftly fleeting moment A beautiful summered morning Turned itself Into noon Now, I’m seeing the sudden flurry Of the ferocious Winter’s fury And oh, God It just came So soon, So soon So for now, I’m trading All my brightest colors For my darkest winter's clothing, that smells suspiciously, Of mildew’s Mysterious musk And now, Now I’m just looking around For an attitude adjustment, And checking out A new set of bifocals, To change my focus Now the summer's slowly ending, And softly sighs The evening breeze But how dare they… HOW DARE THEY? Let it rain… Let it rain… In August? Written and composed for: Melissa's challenge phrase 'Summer's slowly ending' ~ and ~ Knightwriter’s All Star challenge phrase (in/for/of) “an instant' ~ and ~ Darlene's phrase 'softly sighs the the evening breeze' Dear friends, since several of you were wondering in the comment section if that was me in the photo, the answer is no, that was Dear Old Don. So I'm adding this photo of the TWO of us, on the same trip... And thank you, for sharing this joy with us. By Morning Song © 2009 Morning Song (All rights reserved)
