Under the Summer

Under the summer
The fall is waiting
It waits calmly and quietly 
Waiting for its slow change 
Into only a few months 

Under the green 
The orange and red waits 
For the memories 
And mistakes of fall 

Under the warm 
The cold is waiting 
It's waiting to freeze the earth 
To make winter come sooner 

And under the summer
The green 
And the warm 
The part of you 
You forgot 
Waits to be seen 
After the summer 
Fall is here
