A Seasonal Affair

There is something special about

a summer day

that adorns itself in autumn's clothing.

It will wear the wind like a melancholic perfume,

leaving its fragrance dancing gently in the leaves of all trees.

There is a silence

There is a sadness

There is a slowness-

almost like a funerary waltz.

Yes, the summer will slide on autumn's dress,

and will play pretend-

dreaming of being and envying that season,

for the summer is in love with the winter

and autumn will always be closer

and more near to him

than she can ever be.
