Summer Passing

In this peaceful haven the sound of a buzzard breaks the silence as it hovers, in the cloudless sky, 

on a hazy summer day, with the harvest drone in the distance, the butterflies flutter in the breeze, the spiders spin their webs which catch the sunlight rays,

as the first signs of autumn approaches, with the squirrels feasting on the acorns in the trees,

with the fruits of autumn now in abundance, the fungi stirs in the darkness of the wood,
we treasure these late summer days, that will be a distant memory in the starkness and grey of winter,
until the first snowdrops appear,
telling us spring is in the way,
as the earth slowly awakes from its winter slumber,
in time to nature's tune.
