I gaze on the forgotten summer fading into the distant horizon

As my pounding heart and tortured soul turn an artic icy blue

The days are short and the nights are growing ever longer

Planet earth you have got the power – nothing that I can do

How I miss the sensuous soothing heat of the eternal sun

Warm gentle breezes that blew kindly through my hair

Clear blue skies full of dashing and dancing butterflies

Days of fun and laughter and in the world not a care

Here it comes sparkling and twinkling like a sultry sapphire

Arriving at breakneck speed like a rampant runaway train

The sweet floral beguiling smell of forget-me-nots

Autumn is surely knocking on my door once again

Déjà vu as far as my advancing years can remember

I am surrounded and astounded by September
