August.

Sing "hallelujah!"
This is life passing you by
This is the window down
This is August's cry

Grab it by the horns
Feel the sweat run down your back
Run until your hear skips beats
Find what it is you lack

The dog days are approaching
And when they draw closed
How will you be departing
Elegantly posed?

Autum in not much longer
Burning leaves and fading lust
Before you've romanced it properly
Summer has turned to dust

    this is quite nice. While it speaks of seasons, the seasons overlap with te period of our lives. Summer is our youth, too quickly burned. Nicely done.
