Come Seasons Come


Come Seasons Come
nothing worth loving lives forever,
shivering blades of grass scythed by the grim wind,
flickering leaves are embers fizzling into the eastward gale,
wilting wallflowers tilting into a soil grave.

Come Seasons Come
everything eventually folds into the ground,
bleak whispering grave nights,
biting sheath of air,
hallow moon looming like a lonely island.

Come Seasons Come
I’ll weep when you pass me by,
sly stalking grey,
bare branches reaching high for that ice sun,
knowing time’s hands are peeling me away.
