Steve Voorhees Poet I do not know?

Endless Season

As all the leaves fell from limbs,

baring each branch left weak and exposed.

Winter brought such cutting cold winds

and we no longer see the green that's reposed..

 

These leaves will stay dormant,  hiding till spring

But this year will be without life's vital season,

forgoing all the renewal and new life it could bring

This relentless winter being the reason.

 

Weary this life so yearns for the Sun

decrepit and longing for a sign of warm light

But feeling now those bright days may be done

and there's no spring or summer in sight.
