September Sun

The warmth of the September sun I do feel
Whispers of the changing season this day to reveal
Vibrant strokes of crimson upon dogwood tree leaves
Taken alight by this day's gentle caressing breeze
A calm resolve, Summer's bloom hushed in fulfillment array
Trees, brush, fields of green, readied for the Fall parlay.
