Seasons

Change is inevitable

Seasons,
Perpetual refractions in the sunset of time,
Float along the flow of consciousness.
Specks of dust sometimes sparkle--
Mysterious crystals 
Bedazzling the mind's eye.
Others are dull bits of dirt,
Barely touching down 
Before they are swept away
To be discarded.
All eventually return to earth,
A miniscule portion of the whole,
Tumbling together to create life
As a new season begins...

Very nice Jay, you write so well. Everythink is returned some way or another..

[JayceeC]

Thank you, Robert! Sometimes there is just inspiration, but like all writers I have pieces I think are crap. This isbone that I know is good, but I'm not sure how much I like it.

I like how you start this poem boldly, with that oblique passing of light through face of time, and then return to us in myriads of ways, some shiny and some yet to find their glitz- or simply to be discarded.
There is no movement without change and there is always a reason within each season.

Great work gorgeous Jaycee!

Dust motes...I was looking at dust motes when I wrote this...LOL
But it all gelled and just worked. Sometimes It's the oddest things that inspire us

hey, there is no limit to our creativity if we allow the simple things to inspire us! :D

Landslide is one of my favorite songs. I have the original, I have the Smashing Pumpkins cover and, bonus, I have the Tori Amos (my favorite artist) cover.

In regards to the poem, it's a great contemplative piece. You captured the essence of change and of each moment, being dull or bright, eventually fading into something else.

I think this is the best song Stevie Nicks ever wrote..Will have to look up the Tori Amos cover, i'm a bit of a purist with music so don't venture to a lot of covers. Landslide was an afterthought for wordman who taught me how to get the videos up on this site. It just seemed to fit what I was saying.

and this is what she is singing about,getting older yes I love Fleetwood man

[JayceeC]

Rumors is one of the best albums of all time. Definitely in my top 10. Figured you'd like this one. Stevie did an awesome job with these lyrics.

[wordman]

she is a great singer

I love it.. I'm living in a tropical country and we really don't have four seasons, but i can truly relate this more to the changes in our lives. I love the choice of words as well. Brilliant piece. Thank you for sharing.

[JayceeC]

We don't have much in the way of seasons here either. If it wasn't for the spouting of flowers for about three weeks, we go from hot to short bouts of cold. Thanks for posting!

I love the four seasons. I had opportunity to live in places with little cold weather. I like my Michigan. Today 65 degrees and the trees/flowers coming to life. I agree with your words. We will change. Can't be stopped. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Well had a beautiful 72 yesterday and then hail in the evening thunderstorm and down to 50's today. Weather like a female in a snit..lol. Yes change is certain, but aren't we glad it is. Thanks for commenting. ~Jan

You are welcome.

[wordman]

reminded me, of a lonesome person reflecting back on life
seeing the dust sparkle

[JayceeC]

You are getting very good at interpreting my writing. This was written to reflect both the change in natures cycle as well as our lives. And we truly only gage the season's of live from the rearview. But some of those seasons glittered and shined too! It the sparkles with the dirt...kind of like confetti on the ground..LOL

[JayceeC]

Now look Wordman...do you approve??
