Weekend’s Spirit

Photo by Ellie Burgin on Pexels.com

Weekend rains offer pause

Autumn’s final harvest on hold

Testing farmers’ patience

Temperatures fall, growing cold

 

Another falling leaf

Afternoon’s cheery cup of tea

Looking through window’s glass

Visions of backyard’s empty tree

 

Book’s bold invitation

Immersed within mystery’s plot

Welcoming each minute

Story plunges with missing yacht

 

Day’s gentle, soothing peace

Lost in memories, freshly found

Feeling blessed with each gem

Past wants to hang around

 

Nightfall now closes in

Rain drizzling, without pause

Hearing silence unwind

Weekend’s spirit cuddles nonstop
