The Subtle Shift in Autumn Light

By Saywisely

It's not the cold, it's not the breeze,
That strips the green from summer's trees.
It is the way the sunlight falls,
In longer shadows on the walls.

A golden slant, more honey than fire,
That feeds a nostalgic desire.
The summer's reign is overthrown,
By a change in light, and light alone.
