#inspiredbynatureseries #3

In a whistling silence
All night rushed down the road
Early morning the fields
Painted a pale yellow
The buttercups frosted
Over by the north wind

Already long gone is
The bright verdant of Spring
Soon all the leaves will turn
A vibrant rust color
Then with a glass of wine
We'll reminisce those nights
Dipping in the tide pools 
Or by the bonfire

When tickled by the cold 
We'll see our breath escape
Seeking the quietude
In seclusion we'll wait
For the nightingale song
To fill the night again
