Field Day

Any second now:
Soon it'll be time to rake up
plenty of leaves from the lawn,
walk in the park
to reflect/meditate
on how suddenly
this season has arrived,

time to get into the car
& go, just leave -
who needs to know where.

Any second now:
Soon it'll be time to brave
the cool air & rain,
somehow try to make it
inside before getting all soaked...

Such is life in a place like this.
You have no idea of what
the weather's going to be like
from day to day.

Any second now
it'll be time to make the most
of life while still outdoors
so we do whatever it is
we feel like doing
& pass away the hours
as if there was no tomorrow.

"Celebrate we will..."
So we shall while the sun is out,
while the sky is clear
& while warmth still is in the air.
