One Single Impression: Betrayal

At night, the betrayal:
The breeze gives way to wind,
The music of insects, to the patter of falling leaves,
The shower, to cold rain.

We call it the fall.

  1. Beautiful, simple, perfect. We have known rain, in an unusual way this early fall. Oh so beautiful, the rhythms of the the day into night, night into day... and rain... is this global change?

  6. Such a betrayal I look forward at the end of each summer. That cold rain awakens my muse after it has been fried in the summer heat.

  11. I like this...I hadn't thought of fall as a betrayal, but it is. It tempts with warmth and betrays with chill

  13. true,

    we have air conditioner at day time,

    heater on at night.

    nature at the turn of the seasons does betray.
