Walking around this field of hay,
I notice a presence bright and gay.
I feel relaxed as your arms wrap around me.
I am rejoiced as I lay.
The fall is nearly upon us.
I can smell the crisp clear air.
Geese are flying south to warmth.
Winter is everywhere.
It's time to harvest up the once cast aside coats.
The wind grows harsher with each passing day.
There is still hope.
A child plays.
A tree branch breaks.
Leaves begin to fall.
Harvest time is upon us now.
I'm bringing in my flowers one and all.
Some how I feel content.
I know that summer isn't over yet.
A winter is yet to be harvested.
A hope yet to be dashed.
