COMING ON IS AUGUST


 The end of another month, hot Summer nights are here,


 Tomorrow a new day begins, a name for another beginning.


 August brings us a most hated heatwave, long days are 
 Coming,

 I awake in the night to heat that grows stronger into 
 The Morning light.

 Coming on is August when the sun rises to a different  
 Summer Chapter,

 Darkness fades early as the brightness of a morning new 
 Is Upon us all.

 Sleep well tonight, everyone across the world will wake 
 To An August once again,

 What to expect when we rise to tomorrow, get up early 
 To a quiet start.
 Coming on is August, I wait for a cooler day to replace 
 Its name.
