Summer Make Way For Autumn Poem by Thato Maluleka

Once in every while comes a time for change, I say this as I see summer is slowly fading away; it was a beautiful stay I hope you enjoyed yourself all the way. I understand it’s time for change a family member is now to take your place to bring nothing but change, hope he also enjoys his stay.

Summer I love your unpredictability, the showers you bring to us to cool us down when the sun is just in one of his moods, you know you’re the only one who can handle the dude, glad they choose you. And when you come for your stay you bring along the most precious gifts during your stay, if I may, kindly say, the scent in the air, the birth of roses and the humming of birds, like flashbacks of recent years, and joyful tears, oh the aroma like making unconditional love I get chills when I reminisce about your breathtaking ways and heart fulfilling days…

Still I dream of nights he comes along, I awake and anticipate coming days, I love you dear SUMMER but the essence he carries makes my heart jump out of my chest with wonder of how this one will be like, hmmm I wonder...

I had quite a few unforgettable memories during one of his visits; his aura made me smile, and walked for miles and in the presence of now a lost love during a time I longed so much to fall in love…

And yes you AUTUMN the yellowish brownish and almost goldish color that exudes a certain flare like a glamorous event, and the air the smell the atmosphere, is a dream. I get out at times just to see if I’m not dreaming, this is what fairytales are made of, and oh yes I have tales of my own in know what they are made of. The kisses shared the moments spent, the love made, the experience gained, the mazes explained, amazement and no regrets, is just a taste of what you bring, so I gladly say I look forward to your stay, and if I may I wish you all the best during your time here…
