Cleanse

Clear, crisp, delightful,
  like a summer morning in Maine.
Sweetness carried on the 
  breezes, bird calls, crickets quieting.
It stands just at the edge,
  the edge of fall, gift of wonder.
As we watch things die,
  gather in the harvests for winter.
Such a spark of imagination,
  after the unbearable heat which stiffles.
A deep cleansing breath,
  setting the course for reminding us.
Life is short, don't take it
  for granted, harvest the gift of today.
