Ah, Summertime

With tired fingers we grasp.
We try to hold the warmth, the green, the lushness of the world.
Hold.
Hold!
Onward comes the end.
We see it in crisp focus in the nights that fall swifter and longer.
Joy we should take in the harvest
But still I say, "Hold!"
Ah, Summertime...

Beautiful photo! And a lovely poem as well, which really seems to sum up everyone's feelings as the look and feel of fall pervades the air!
