Loss & Gain
As the days are shorter
The cool air travels
From west to east
From north to south
The thermostat changes to
warm the house
The birds are hungry
Seeming to need more for warmth.
No breakfast on the porch
To watch our feathered friends
Hummingbirds are gone
To find warmer places.
Trees are fashioning colors
That don’t seem real!
We know they will soon
Cover our lawns.
Sunsets are awesome
With bright beautiful colors.
They come too soon now
Our daylight is shorter.
It’s time to be still
And meditate for longer
than I seem to have time for
During the summer–
This is good, I like it!
