Seasons in a Day

Love is like seasons

Question of the Seasons in a Day

 

Question:

 

Why is our love

like the seasons of change,

we are like the yellow maple leaf, 

when it falls it sounds like the cello

singing with strong wind

maudlin but powerful

yet the octaves drop with each bar.

 

Like the bare bones

of winter, darker, restless

across the woodland landscape

like an army of still soldiers

sometimes our feet firmly planted, 

you can see

we don't want to care about

anyone but ourselves, survivors.

 

Spring ushers in thoughts anew

possibilities of a new life

summer sun and skies of blue

flowers bloom as thoughts,

pictures of times yet to be had.

 

Like the summer

when the heat of our passion

leaves us sweaty and cool

less cares in those moments

because you never want it to end.

 

It's a question to me how when love

goes astray

not lost

but pushed out above the atmosphere

where no seasons exist

that still, in that place,

how do we live

all seasons in one day.

 

Answer:

 

No matter the place

no matter the time

no matter if in space

or in our minds

between us

our seasons happen

each and every day

because the power of the world

with you and I are still in play.
