As It Will Always Be

when the spring winds blow
the bottles in the myrtle;
Aphrodite sings.

hushed summer rainfall,
Freyr tenderly drumming fronds
life, the scyther reaps.

crunching underfoot
susurrus of autumn leaves;
deteriorate.

we can see winter,
the silence of a blank page;
yet we do not hear.

so it will begin again
birth, life, death; an end in pain.
