As Seasons Pass
As seasons pass
new reflections lay upon still water
another petal falls...another ripple crosses
both drifts away vanquished by darkness
in the silence, 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 in the face
from the price paid for joyous moments
and anguished struggles
as we move from people and places
long gone...if they ever were at all
each season of each year brings a new reflection
as distant days of yesterday fade
like ripples from each fallen petal
without thought or concern as life struggles
searching for something...finding inevitability
