As August closes its golden eyes,

I will remember the light

and warmth of the sun,

and of the never ending circle of love.

Immersing myself in August.

Goldenrods and Cicadas,

high humidity,
a welcome breeze,

A hermit thrush's evening song,

Yellow Swallowtail butterflies,
Queen Anne's Lace,
footprints, feathers and fawns.
