September feelings

[Artemis]

Night moves aside as morning glides over
And I watch the hue change ~
Trees bow politely to greet the dawn
And again the storm clouds gather.

Summer nearly giving way to autumn
That September feeling grows.
Not quite warm and the smell of cold
Lingers to pounce in the evening.

I sigh with the wind, another year passed.
The fledglings have almost flown this nest.
Mother waits patiently for that new life
Night moves aside as a new dawn glides closer.

So beautiful I almost cried kk. You have an amazing ability to make something seem so soft and gentle. Welcoming like a down-filled pillow. Floating feathers. P

I felt many things when reading this poem, Kerry. Sad because my parents now have an empty nest, so I can empathize with you. Happy because of the new life that you describe for yourself, which you deserve so much. I'm sorry that I didn't get to this sooner, I thought this was wonderful my friend

Takes me back to my mother trying to fill her days after we left home; that empty nest syndrome is a bitch. It helps one to find themselves and their own purpose in life again, though, not revolving around the kids . . . very evocative write, I'm sure so many can relate. Put this one in the book.
