Welcome September

by Laura Howat

Welcome the passage of time
as leaves wither and fall
fade and crumble

the sun’s warm yellow rays become gold

The Golden Age
the beginning of the end

the beginning of the last show of brilliance
before winter’s breath
brings chilly winds

Oh time
you move so swiftly
my padded feet
soft and hurried
try to let you sleep

Your illusion always escapes me

Embrace me
