autumn

At last, autumn
It's initial attempts
Repressed by stubborn summer
Announces it's arrival

Not with thunderous fanfare
Or even a loud knock
But instead a familiar breeze

Harvest moon, new weather
Majestic colored leaves surrender
Lazy hammock invites slumber

Ere I drift away in dreams
My newly contented heart
Whispers with much relief

At last, autumn
