Self Portrait at the End of July

Sitting

Still

Waiting

for 

Leaves to feel the air of Autum

Summer is Long

Summer is streching it's long arms around me 

Hugging me tight

Air still 
Like a painting on a wall

Holding it's beauty of green dry grass until the next rain

I find a pencil 

I sketch

I see myself 

Giddy from the heat

Smiling

Finding something to sweat about

Fondling the ground

I look up 

Close my eyes to the suns bright eye looking down 

Knowing in time

this too will pass

Summer to Fall

Fall to Winter

Winter to Spring 

Summer 

Repeat

Repeat

until the end of 

Time

or until I

Blink

Away
