August: a magical time to lose track of time… 🕰️

August ♌️

is not

Summer’s end 🌅

or almost Fall 🍂

Not really an end

or beginning at all

August is the peak 🏔️

of Summer’s energy ⚡️

Slowing 🐌

to a warm, steady

hum 👂

of bees & locusts 🐝

through the day

to the rhythmic serenade

of crickets 🦗

when the day

is done.

August is slow

Mornings,

pausing for long

sips of coffee ☕️

in the garden🪴

while bare toes 🦶

taste dew drops 💧

on cool grass 🌾

August is long

Nights, 🌘 ✨

where the heat of the day ♨️

lingers to kiss 💋

the cool evening air 🌀

August is best

savored, slowly,

drip, by drip,

each moment ⏳

carefully collected 🤲🏽

like drops of golden

Sunlight 🔆

tucked away

to warm the soul 🫶🏽

on cooler days. ❄️
