September

A crescent all sparkling,
Glided gracefully into the solemn sky.
It was a slow breeze,
Unfolding the dawn of Autumn.

Evenings brought a nostalgia,
A past for which the heart would race.
September lets you ponder,
To travel back and retrospect.

No matter what fruit it bears,
Trees part with the leaves -
Longevity reappraised.

A prick,
That awakens the soul.
Nights are longer,
Yet sleeplessness lingers.

September is a mirror -
Reminiscences flash through the mind.
It is a flint,
Ignites a doused desire.
