As August ends today

— Ajaya Bajpai 

As August whispers its soft goodbye,  

The twilight lingers in the evening sky.  

With golden hues that fade to gray,  

We pause to reflect as August ends today.

Fields once vibrant now hush in calm,  

Nature's embrace, a soothing balm.  

Memories dance on the breeze's sway,  

Embracing the lessons from summer's play.

Each sunset captured, a fleeting light,  

A tapestry woven of day and night.  

In the warmth of the sun, we've laughed and wept,  

Holding the moments we've cherished and kept.

The cool winds beckon change to unfold,  

With hints of fall in the stories untold.  

So let us be grateful, in this fleeting stay,  

For all that we've learned, as August ends today.

With hearts wide open, we gaze ahead,  

Trusting the journey, wherever it's led.  

For in every ending, new beginnings lay,  

As the canvas of life paints a fresh array.  

So here’s to the days that have shaped our way,  

In gratitude we stand, as August ends today.  

With hope in our hearts and dreams in our sight,  

We march forth in courage, embracing the light.
