The breeze carried something with it as it ruffled the bedroom curtains; unwanted, yet inevitable. The summer ended and with it the dream. It was time for autum reality and responsibility, time to leave behind carefree and wonderment. Maybe again next summer.
Lovely. It captures the feeling that only happens in September. Well done!
ReplyDeleteYes. Summer is my favorite. I like fall but I hate winter, and fall reminds me it's coming.
ReplyDeleteI was totally feeling like this today!
ReplyDeleteAw. Goodbye summer.
ReplyDeleteI, too, was thinking this same thing today. I'm not ready! Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteLove the breeze ruffling the bedroom curtains. Perfect image.
ReplyDelete'It was time for autumn reality and responsibility.' Powerful!
ReplyDeleteI love all these doubles you give us: "unwanted, yet inevitable," "reality and responsibility," "carefree and wonderment." It makes such a nice build-up to the end.
ReplyDeleteThis was the perfect description of today! I liked the unspoken sentiment in "the breeze carried something with it," and your choice of the word "wonderment." Isn't it amazing that summer can bring that sense even to adults?
ReplyDeleteGreat description. This really hit home for me as I returned to teaching after having the summer off.
ReplyDeleteOh, but it's not too late (where I am at least) to squeeze the last drops of summer out of the sky!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Sums up the feeling of this time of year wonderfully
