whisper it

whisper it


autumn never leaves

the summer breeze 

or the fall of leaves on

the budding trees


turning a turned eye

back down the calendar ways

the shortening of the longer days

recycling the question why


did the dream awake

on that midsummer night

stopped short as the shortest day

did break up right there and did not stay


all the halcyon buds

of gay abandon 

dashed and smashed

as that summer breeze


starts to leave

until the last moment

it was there all along

the ghost in the summer’s song


hello lies abed with goodbye when

those salad days in the blackest mood


fell once more
