bathed
by the salty wind
sun and sky receive a maiden's
amorous lips as dews of bliss
mystic
of summer waning
trembling on a branch afar
teaching that sweeter bud not
to bloom ~ summer's touch is
disarming and yet her fragrant
promise fills the air
every
banner flying
and every sail unfurled she
will rise to meet the advancing
splendor of Autumn just as last
pale star behind her rises
gaze
within her eyes sparkling pastel
before leaves of fall color the
sun with their earthly tones

Was it one of the Brontes that wrote; "For above and around me the wild wind is roaring, Arousing to rapture the earth and the seas." You have captured that mood in your piece and coincidentally have something of the rhythm of the Bronte piece as well.
