~ Summer's Adieu ~


Piercing velvet membrane of night
Stars entreating joy be expressed
Sparkling gems of celestial light
Firmament, exquisitely dressed

Delivered, a sliver-crescent moon
Mesmeric smile broadly beaming
A wistful sound, a soulful tune
Perhaps a winsome angel dreaming

While in the distance thunder rolls
Everything now becoming clear
Lightning illuminates tender knolls
Tempered tempest moving near

Raindrops plop, refreshing splashes
Indian summer drinks her fill
Lavender vein of lightning flashes
Searing the onyx sky, until . . .

Delivered from an autumn squall
Radiant stars express their joy
Night's jewels shimmer, enthralling all
Heavenly lights in God’s employ
