Five Minute Friday [15] - A Thousand Summers

Seasons, they fall away from us and into one another

The summer sun relents to autumn's fiery display of colour

But it happens gently, as if they mourn each other

It's in how spring always seems hesitant to bloom away winter

This life is full of moments I don't want to let go of

And some that I thought would never ever come

The things we've yet to lose and the things we've lost

The growing pains of it all nearly renders me undone

But seasons, they arrive and take their leave 

and each carry with them a purpose

And the place we're in now, it can surely teach us

So like the leaves that fall, let this be thought reckless

But my heart will lie still in the cold, 

warmed by the thought of a thousand summers
