Seasons

Summer a sigh

as slumber befalls

the return of rain

 

are you the same

dust on the frame

print the past

 

the lessons four

rehearsal run

where’s the eraser

 

meant to stay

longer

in the sun

 

before my hair

turned gray

and my mind a maze

 

leaves are leaving long lines

without a trace of shade

concrete color wash and wear

 

walked the woods in winter

felt the flurries melt my face

bent down to touch the ground

 

round and round the colors turn

till green is grass and yellow rings a bell

as bonnets of blue curtsey to the wind

 

summer yawns and stretches forth

wide awake and walking

barefoot blades running through and through

 

ask again

 

are you the same

dust on the frame

print the past

 

the lessons four

TL
