Daylight saving ends.
We fall back on borrowed time --
Summer fun’s now gone.
•
In hopeful moments,
solar energy is free --
stored for future use.
•
Adapting to change,
when sunny spot moves along,
I will go with it.

Author Notes
Author's Note:
Here in New Zealand, today we turned our clocks back an hour as we leave Summer daylight-saving time and move through Autumn into the colder months.
In the poem, 'fall' refers to Autumn, and 'on borrowed time' refers to current pandemic events, as well as the extra hour of daylight saving time.
The poem was inspired by thoughts of my departed cat -- how she loved being in the sunny spot. I've used the sunshine as a metaphor for hope, and my desire to continue living hopefully and positively.
