One Single Impression: Halcyon

SandyCarlson September 23, 2012

From July 31, 2012
I hear it before I feel it and wonder,
Wind or rain?
And then I realize,
Both.
This is the autumnal equinox,
An assurance that it all happened
And was good
But it's over
And will become more and more over
Darker and colder
And more silent 
Than anything
Written on the wind
With rain tonight.
I hear it before I feel it
And I know the wonder
Is that I felt it at all,
So brief, the halcyon days.

    wonderful words -

    although I would have to change it to

    "But it's over
    And will become more and more over
    Brighter and Warmer"

    - but I think your is better!

    These fall days do sneak up on us.
    I am sad to feel summer leaving....the winter snows are soon to arrive. Sigh!!

    These are the halcyon days to me. I love these cool crisp autumn days. They are especially appreciated due to our torrid dry summer.

    So nice to foresee the peacefulness of days ahead. I felt the autumn in your words, though I don't hear it or feel it. It's still quite hot here and signs of autumn are invisible.
