Summer is all about sweet homecomings
and the inevitable leave-takings
that follow.
There's a heap of living in between
as summer wraps her long lazy arms
around our shoulders
and holds on
until she can hold on no longer.
Then it's time to send them
packing back to college
with a hug and a kiss
and heart full of prayers,
knowing that the waves
of melancholy will rush in uninvited and
depart as quickly as they came.
