Familiar warmth is slowly disappearing. The palette of bright colors on beaches has faded, packed away until another time. The sounds of laughter and fun no longer compete with the roar of the ocean.
Lazy days now give way to busy schedules. Gone are the warm nights with gentle breezes that peek into windows while fireflies dance outside in the darkness.
Time keeps passing, much too quickly. All that had just begun ends with a turn of a calendar’s page. Local shops signal endings while beckoning new beginnings.
Days grow painfully shorter. Flowers, once bright and fragrant, struggle to keep their blooms. Too soon, all will to be turned into garden statues by an early frost. Slowly, the curtain closes on one more summer.
The changing of seasons is always a sacred passage.
