from summer to autumn.

smells of cinnamon

floats in the breeze

reminding me of

burning candles at night

reflecting in the

dark windows 

no one around to

enjoying this

calming moment

only my cat and I

walking down the streets

crumpled green and yellow

speckled leaves blow off

the transitioning trees

children are laughing

on the playground

behind me gets drowned out

by burton norton in my ears

sun shines

breeze blows

autumn in the wind

butterflies in the air

flying ahead

black brown

white yellow

wings

keeping the remembrance

of summer alive

as the sun fades

behind gray clouds
