The Cricket's Chorus

I only write when I am inspired, and unfortunately, it's often at times when I am not able to jot anything down, like on my way to work. I tried to keep this one rolling around in my head through out my day to not lose it.

Heyday of Summer
has come and gone,
sad echos reside
in the Cricket's song.

Once a mighty chorus
that played day and night,
a concerto of Summer
"The Cricket's Flight."

Days wane towards Autumn,
Summer green growing faint;
flowers past their prime,
leaves waiting golden paint.

One lonely cricket,
without accompaniment,
fiddles his sad song
"Summer's End", a lament.

Nights grow cooler,
Summer's songs slowly die;
soft last serenade,
he plays to night's starry sky.
