Whispered Breath of Autumn
by Dan Fitzgerald

Whispered breath of Autumn
carries the wistful voice of summer
longing to linger,
its echoes catching in the falling
color of leaves.
It is the soundtrack
to the dances of squirrels
hurrying across a lawn,
and to the unhurried pace
of evening strollers.

Hiding in the soft murmurings,
omens of winter’s coming,
chills the air.
