The Seasons Uncouple

There’s comfort in knowing,
things come and they go

As the wind brings a newness,
whether lilac or snow

There’s joy in all laughter,
given freely and new

And music in the words,
chosen only by you

There’s a time to be born,
and a time then to die

An ending beginning,
a final stop on your ride

What was right at the start,
truer still at the end

And that angel before you,
now the angel within

With deaths only offer,
…one last memory to choose

As the seasons uncouple,
—and your world again new

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)
