Seasons Pass, But One I Grasp

by michaelcahill

Seasons Pass, But One I Grasp                                                              by michael cahill   Ah Spring, how aptly named for I do to and                      fro gravity is merely a rumour to mock a flock of seagulls beckons, I reckon I'll join them, the ground seems dull even this mountain peak a dream to seek a snore, I sought, I reached, my feet are fleet and need to run, oh my, the sun                                           seems near   It's Summer now and how perfection pleases every sense the smells and sights the life in flight the trees reach heights all dressed in garish greens with carpets, rioting colors anarchy reigns and malarkey seems a sane response even as the rain does not feel cold the world does not feel wet   yet   a leaf   falls   clever girl… Autumn my dear. Was that you with a soft kiss on my neck                                                         while my head was turned? Yes… of course… most welcome… a walk with you and a talk I know, I know… you have spoken of it before… it comes and I see the signs that you are pointing out to me. The colors alert and then they fade. Farewell…   farewell                   Winter, I've been forewarned all my compatriots have fled fireplace reveries soothe window scenes frosted smooth                 with you out here and they in there   Now, I feel your grasp and I must tell you I will not allow it dear friend   I turn and I grasp you!         We will walk along together                          I will regale you with tales of         Spring and Summer yes, even tales of Fall you are acquainted, but you may not know her                                         as I do   as I speak I see my breath invade the air I am alive!
