The Next Act

Bright sunshine, a breeze that hints

of Autumn days to come

that puts a spring in your step, and sends

energy pumping, waking up after sleepy days.

Gray skies sneaking back, whispering of

rain, clouds nudging each other to crowd

out blue and sunny skies.

Summer holding on with both hands,

pulling taut the rope that

changes the scenery, holding

back the change of seasons

as long as it can.

Raindrops waiting for their cue,

clustered together behind the clouds,

whispering their lines, on the edge

and ready to rush forward to take their place.

This day that started sunny,

now waiting to change.

And the show goes on.
