Autumn

The heat of summer, drenching my body and leaving glistening trails on my skin,
is in remission
The ย suns intensity watered down so that I freely let the golden, hushed rays
play on my arms without fear of burning.
Attar of roses, that ย filled my senses ย with the smell of Turkish delight, now lost
in the ether.
Buds denuded, leaves dried and brittle,
waiting to fall,
to join the long , wild grass ,growing rampant.
In the sun I could be in a golden land, gilded pyramids edging the horizon,
pools of shadow at my feet ย withย the luminous ย orb overhead.
Radiant ย warmth of the sun now leachingย into the unforgiving earth.
The autumn breeze catches my breath and whips the scarlet leaves newly shed.
Just as the sultriness of the dog days, now pass into beyond ,
The air, now cool, feels ย like the pleasure of an open refrigerator on a balmy day
All remindersย of lifesโ endless circle.
I am a child again, running my hands through the golden tapestry of decaying leaves looking for
Horse chestnuts,
Autumn approaches, and with it brings a pastoral quiescence that clears
my sun drenched mind, and ย leads my heart to more romantic, exotic placesโฆ
where I can wait, in anticipation, for Winters awakening.

My Dear lodigiana,
The trees are turning color
The air is cooling down
The Summer has now ended
Fall's harvest soon abounds
.
We'll have the lovely foliage
The leaves their golden hue
The chestnuts will be dropping
I'm sure I'll find a few
Love,
