Summer Fades

I am sitting near the fountain again.
I see leaves on the path as summer fades.
I find the whispers of the water soothing.
Why don’t I come here more often?

The roses are almost gone.
The light is gray and clouds fill the sky.

I am joyful today—my life is complete.

Soon the fountain will stop.
The water will drain away.
It will flow again when spring returns.
