Four Seasons

Slowly
(a life time of small steps back
Fades the light
towards a tiny waiting grave)
As does the bright
Birth of an immaculate 
Smile 
	Spanning the horizon for hope
		Scanning the world for yes
			Searching the room for you
To face your face
	To see what you see
		To hear what you hear
			To feel what you feel

Slowly
(a life time of small looks back
Recedes the day
towards a tiny waiting grave)
As does the bright
Light of an untraceable 
Urge
	Scoping the skies for joy
		Singing the warmth of birds
			Shaking the wounds in you
To touch your face
	To please what you see
		To sooth what you hear
			To smooth what you feel

Slowly
(a life time of small kicks back
Proceeds the night
towards a tiny waiting grave)
As does the bright
Moon of an irradiant  
Purge
	Sapping the vines of spring
		Stopping the play of sin
			Solving the lies in you
To replace your face
	To appease what you see
		To fear what you hear
			To doom what you feel

Slowly
(a life time of small slaps back
Succeeds the dark
towards a tiny waiting grave)
As does the bright
Death of an unknowable
Life
	Sounding the bells of done
		Sipping the truth of hell
			Salting the wounds in you
To forget your face
	To curse what you see
		To hate what you hear
			To despise what you feel
	

----May 2014. Verse written for self-therapy.  Composed in a state of anger, frustration, disappointment… It helped.  A day later light-hearted humor was back.
