The Joy Of Indian Summer

Poetry

Sitting by the lake enjoying a warm gentle breeze

Bare feet dangling in the water feels so calming and relaxing

As the colorful leaves lazily fall from the branches of trees

Far away from the cares of the world and all that is taxing

So blessed to have time to read a good book

While birds chirp sweetly as they fly over my head

I hear the water flowing through a nearby brook

And notice children running through a creek bed

The rays from the sun are peaceful and put me at ease

Such a comfortable temperature for late September

The joy of Indian summer is always sure to please

It's a time of year that I will always cherish and remember
