The wind across my nostrils
blows the fading sense of summer
the sweet and melancholy
air of moments gold and light which
keeps the night at bay.
A tickle of my mem’ry
calls the fleeting scents of summer
with resignation tender
thoughts of coming autumn tumble
‘cross the shortened day.

Not bad, but the word nostrils lacks any air of poetry to me....LOL
kenju-- Me, too, but I couldn't think of another word that fits. Feel free to tinker with it!
"nares?", but that sounds stilted.
I also thought about "nares," but I think of that more as bird nomenclature.
Gentle breeze moves softly past
try that for a first line - seven syllables and all!
