Our calendar marks but a line of days
to set with weeks and months to fill
the passage of time in most tidy ways.
Many might favour the month of May
when blossoms sweet the nose will thrill
our calendar marks but a line of days
Then there’s October, with leaves all ablaze
harvest’s rich bounty and meat on the grill
signing time’s passage in succulent ways.
Some swoon for June and wedding bouquets
and midsummer’s night on a dark forest hill
with calendar midstream in year’s line of days
But I choose December though skies are grey
when Yuletide’s warmth cuts through winter’s chill
and scripts yearend’s passage in most tidy ways.
Once round the circle, ahead new days lay
as together we travel on time’s treadmill
our calendar tracks passage in most tidy ways
till our time is over and so end our days.
