July

July

Comes so gradually,

takes so long to get here,

then flies away

before you know it.

Here we are at the end of July,

Feeling the early effects of autumn,

so subtle you may not

or may not want to see,

winter is coming.

Foggy morning,

Will see more of that,

as the sun's rays change,

the angle changing,

creating climate change

that is nothing new to us.

Bright hot July sun

Burning our skin

is there no other way to harness

that power?

July heat,

showing me I have limits.

Never wanted to have limits set,

Feel I am not

alone.

July dreams,

so possible,

July compromise,

well

compromised

by competing interests,

knowing our lazy minds are

tired.

July has a feeling

like it could go on forever,

sometimes you want it to,

somedays

just let it end.

July memories,

always warm,

blistering at times,

Some days I do not even remember,

 those lazy crazy dog days

of

Summer.
