The Summer In Me

When the summer in me appears
Sickles open their teeth, leaves migrate
Fury and fire in me goes touring
And bush-fire leaves majority in tears

Let the autumn in me sail into the community
Friends and foe park up bags and go
Animals and plants become shy to play
Knowing the period of uncertainty is within

Winter comes and all creatures taste syringes of pain
The city of dogs in Alaska, Antarctic penguins
Give hope to the world as they roam without care
That life can continue even in times of dark clouds

When spring comes in its four-wheel drive
Machines cry, whistle in all valleys and hills
Insects and birds organize wedding ceremonies
As Flowers, turkeys apply for prerogative of mercy
