Summer is gone

As the leaves now fall

In shades of lively oranges and bits of red

Hello my old friend.

Where now I can bask in your warm embrace

Of your season's range

And a new wardrobe change.

Hello yet again

To Thanksgiving,

Halloween,

And Dia de los Muertos 

For those no longer here to see you so bright and alive.

Hello my old friend,

And before I know it I’ll miss you again.
