shorter days
by only minutes
sun hangs lower
waning by bits
a sense
of change,
subtle
but clear
light and temperature
is modifying
transformation
brings
season’s shift

/ September 9, 2011Still very warm here–with a couple of tropical storms swirling off our eastern coast–still quite away off yet. One looks like it could come right at us–maybe turning into a hurricane–we’ll have to wait and see.
You sound like you’re in a similar position.

/ September 12, 2011yes the seasons are about to shift and it brings the feeling that we need to adapt to a different climate. in a different angle the previous season refers to our past and the coming one to our future, time shifts and we need to adapt. a deeper hidden meaning with simple words. beautiful

/ September 12, 2011So very true–we do make adaptations as life moves from one climate to another–internally as well as outwardly. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me, fallenelegy.
