Rain came
Quick and fierce
And washed away
The heat and dust of summer.
Wind blows in
Through open doors
And windows wide,
Brushing along the scraps of summer sun.
I stand
Full-facing fall’s embrace
Feeling naked and yet cleansed
While whirling wind about me sifts my soul

Great work. I love the way you intertwine the season with your own feelings of fullness, vulnerability (naked) and cleansing ... as you are sifted (wind) in this part of your life (Fall). This is a lovely write.
