The last pages of August

The sun inches toward equinox,
announced by the rattling leaves
and the breeze of a fading season

I've turned many pages of poetry
and lived some too, trying
to find the right words
for the changes I sense...

Maybe the answers
are not on the pages,
but in thumbing through them.

    Yes...the journey's the thing, my friend - and I know you savor it! It's all in the feeling of headiness that surrounds us when we immerse ourselves in that which we love. Your poem speaks volumes.
