...the cool change

it has happened
that change in the air
the premonition of things to come
the cool change

large white clouds turning gold into the evening
move slowly across clear blue skies

dinner on the pizziola patio

there's air
cool air
good sleeping air
fifty degree in the morning with hot coffee
in the morning air

the boys get home Monday
their summer adventure comes to its end
school starts next week



she goes thru more and more of her things
in her final days in her lovely little apartment
her precious lonely years coming to their end

and before we know it
August birthdays will be over
September will come and go and come to its end

and the October day we are all working towards
will be upon us

then these days will come to their end
and the far away family will be joined once again
