"Summer" read by Priscilla Watson

"Summer" is a poem written by Paul Metsa for the book and spoken word recording "Alphabet Jazz." Produced by Andy Watson.

Summers days fade into early twilightand then at first slippery leavesbecome crisp and crumblebetween honest hands and fingersnow brown having given up the green, red, and goldwith the snap of a finger become nothing but forgotten dustboth so and fast and then so oldwhich the wind accepts for just a moment to beholdthen whatever to be left in this universeall by now both bought and soldthe ancient age from whence they camewelcomes them in silent whispersWhere have you been my silent leavesa seed again now welcome home.
