Speak you the days of Sun's warmth quietly. br Reverently. This church will open doors br Too soon, (much too soon) to galing Autumn's br Outrage of being summoned into fire. br br Fall does not greet us gladly...welcoming. br Damping down Summer's heat is a challenge br Disquieting. The War, even now, has br Begun. Longer shadows announce the first br br Skirmish. Degree by degree will fall like br Icing rain...sleucing into overcoats. br Temperatures dropping like fireplace logs br Into the hearth of hearts. Heat we wanted br br Only months before. Now, changing our minds, br Wish coolness...never knowing Autumn's War.
