A New Month


We need a extra month between August and September 
Thirty days to catchup, to look back and remember 

A month to do those things we left undone 
Because of the heat and the blistering sun

A parcel of time that helps wrap up the summer 
That stalls all the fall things and makes the season 'funner'

A space to relax in and fulfill desires

Before we start axing and building wood fires

Before closing up the cottage once more 
And putting all the water sport toys in store

Between fixing steps and mending walls 
Projects are cleaned up with out rushing at all

Our month of reprieve gives us time to discover
That after this new month we'll still need another.
