Come September

This is what I get for taking a late vacation, half of September is gone. Where in the world did
summer escape to? Why didn't she take me with her?
School is in full swing, and you can not fix crazy, the days just run together.
The past few days, there was a "lightness" in the air. I could not smell Fall, but the smell of the beach is faint. Summer blast in, Fall is sort of dark and creepy, lulls you into thinking winter will not be so bad. Fall can be a relief, if it would only carry the magic of summer. Some would say, it brings magic with its arrival, Halloween, Turkey Day, Football on every TV, beautiful leaves turning hues of orange and gold. What is not to love? It brings winter, and that is a big negative!!!
Each year I promise to not sit under a blanket all winter, and each year I wrap UP!!! nothing will soon show, but my eyes. I'm working on myself, always working!!!
People have gone mad in the world, thinking about burning other peoples holy books!! My internal babbling tells me to worry, how can you make ignorant people understand anything? Besides Fall is dancing on my doorstep, and I'm asking her to wait a few more days. Take off those tap shoes, and let me enjoy a few more warm , sunny days. Let summer linger a minute or two more. I feel chilly, it must be all of 80 outside!!! Now you understand my predicament!!
Come September.
