Still holding on, strong, erect,
In a spectacular color of dress
Vowing to bring beauty to days,
In the face of natures death
Fall seasons essence, you remain,
As the time comes, you don’t contest
To shedding your dressing, all with grace
With first gusts, of the Winters breath
Let me, be as you,
As this seasons rolls in,
Find warmth in the roots of my home
Not fight the unsettling, grey days to come,
Know it’s this way, for Spring to be born
Go ahead Day, go and get up
Would you care if I stay behind, please?
My muscles are stiff, head’s stone heavy
Must be Autumns gift I’ve received
Damp air lays thick, as his statement he makes,
He’s bullied dear Summer away
He’s covered the sun, pre frosted the trees,
While here in my bed, wrapped up I lay
Warmths been pulled out of my body,
Replaced with a feverish chill
No sigh of joy comes from my mouth,
Instead goes in hot tea and pills
Tricky, tricky, yes you are,
Even Birds not sure they’d stay
One flew North as six went South,
Confused on this Fall day
Flowers opened just to fold,
Somewhat just like me
With hope, but knowing, that we’ve seen
Our Summers grand finale
And so it goes, time to greet yet another season! To adjust clocks and clothes, and for me, to load up the medicine cabinet 😉
On one December day
His passion went away
As if a window opened
And away
It blew
Exiting warmth
Entering cold
All on that winter day
Everything I loved
Disappeared
The man I once knew
Was taken ahold
By a past or a present
God only knows
He left my side as he stood by me
Invisible presence
As he claimed to be
In love with my eyes, my hair, my being
But what was the lack of love I was seeing
Where is his heart if it is not with mine
To where has it drifted in such a short time
The windows still open
As the pane gathers frost
I won’t close it yet
In case he’s just lost
Out finding his heart
And will bring it back
Before my heart freezes
Breaks down and cracks
We fight the seasons
With our bodies so bold
We sweat and we shiver
From hot into cold
We should fight for love
One to have and to hold
Leave windows open
For a chance to come home
Mother Nature befriends me
Pretending she‘s Spring
In January, pray tell
Let me ask just one thing:
Has she thrown out of tune
The trees, birds and cold air
Just so that I
Could escape winters glare
Of late day darkness
When sun loses fight
Sets down below
For the bitter of night
Crystal blue is the sky
Lady yellow shines through
Warmth all around
Morning has dew
It’s all wrong
It’s all off
The season has changed
I doubt natures happy
stuck in winters refrain
I won’t tell the Trees, the birds
Not a thing
We’ll whisper them back
In time for true Spring
Pour down as the first rain of spring
Soak me from head to toe
Illuminate me like a glorious rainbow strewn across the sky
Give me a love that is hotter
Than a sweltering heat wave in summer
Allowing no relief in sight
A wild leaf in motion
Whisk me away on your changing breeze
On that gold toned day in autumn
Embrace me like a tree
Naked in winter
Wrapped in the warmth of its snow
The Starting End
