Kai Michael Neumann Poet Rhyme

Transitional Autumn

the seasons always treated him with all kinds of rain shine and  storms

but he was never the fall guy and enjoyed deviating from dogma and norms


with fresh springs in his step he rebelled as if there was no future tomorrow

which brought him satisfaction and joy but also fierce rejection and sorrow


summer brought heated adjustment to society’s wishes and compromise

he sold out for a while became calmer but was still rather foolishly unwise


now he is in the autumn years of his life and calls for reflection and balance

but harmony still eludes his equilibrium and sometimes he drifts into trance


the rational mind fights with the emotional counterpart for solutions in vain 

does not always resolve differences and contradictions and leaves him in pain


but while his branches get brittle the roots shaky and leaves turn into fine dust

of winter composure with longer shadows he knows that all seasons need trust

Sigrid Ermine September 12, 2020 at 7:27 PM Koniciwa, Kai. Lovely sentiment in your poem, as you turn your insides out with grace and flair. - almost reads as though you think you might freak out and holler God's name as Winter approaches, maybe I imagined that particular sentiment....
