As summer draws to a close


As we enter the final weeks of summer, 
Some part of us is wondering 
 If we spent enough time just soaking up the sun. 
Were we too busy doing to just be? 
Did we fully appreciate our opportunities 
 To let those tensions go and just drift? 
Before the chill of autumn sets in 
(And the rain, if you’re in the Pacific Northwest!) 
Find a little time to just appreciate 
The sights, the sounds, and scents 
 Of a summer afternoon, and store them up 
As memories to warm a winter’s night.
