September Wind

“Ah, September! You are the doorway to the season that awakens my soul.”  — Peggy Toney Horton

Contemplating a change,

waiting on the shift,

to break the heat

and release late 

summer’s final breath

as sweet autumn

refreshes us again.

Soon we will begin 

the slower pace

of cool mornings,

layer ourselves in cozy,

linger near evening fires

and allow ourselves to dream

of snow angels and Christmas.

—C.L. Fisher, September 2023
