as the seasons change

late summer

the sun fades sooner

crisp mornings

turning leaves

I bid farewell to summer

as autumn arrives

rain in August

late summer sun slips behind rain clouds

I watch the trees bend as the wind picks up

raindrops tap against window panes 

while streets become rivers

in a blink of an eye the storm ceases

and the sun returns drying out 

the drenched roadways

we place dreams

we place dreams

in the full moon’s hands

count the stars

chasing sun

across the horizons that

beckons us to run

pennies in a jar

pennies in jar sat on 

the bookshelf for years 

no one can even remember

when the collection started

we took those pennies

to the coin machine and 

surprised at the amount

we buy ourselves a treat

at the coffee house 

enjoying the summer sun
