not lately

I used to savor
each summer day, not wanting
the long
hot months to end.
but not lately.
I've moved on to fall
as being
the place I want to spend
my days.
give me the changing colors
of leaves,
the cool breeze.
the crisp air through
the open windows.
give me a hand to hold.
a true heart.
someone to love
as the sizzle of
summer recedes. give me
autumn.
fall. the change of
season in so many ways.
