As Seasons Pass
Listen to poem:
As seasons pass
new reflections are cast upon their still waters
another petal falls...another ripple crosses
both drifting away, vanquished by darkness
in the silence that's left, truth is found
revealing itself between earth and sky
a prisoner held close, to testify
for every day of every year
the heart has kept in memory
where time captures each line
cut into the face
the price paid for joyous moments
and anguished struggles
as we moved from season to season
holding on to people and places
long gone...if ever they were at all
each season of each year brings a new mirror
as the distant days of yesterday fade away
like the ripples from each fallen petal
without thought or concern, searching for something
finding inevitability
