THE SEASONS COME AND GO - SUMMER
The seasons come and go
Almost monotonous I know
One after another, as planned
Like the sweep of a clock hand
Each season reminding us all
That from winter to the fall
Is yet another year slipped by
A step closer to when we die
A depressing thought I know
But let the seasons come and go
For I think it would be a crime
If their was to be no summertime
THE SHARP-EYED SPARROWS
The sharp-eyed sparrows
Darting too and fro
Examine the soil
Disturbed by the hoe
Picking out a morsel
And off they go
AS LENGTHENING SUMMER SHADOWS
As lengthening summer shadows
Give way to Autumnal shades
The last snows of winter
Are but a heartbeat away
INHABITING THE MARGINS
Inhabiting the margins
Of the waters edge
The waterfowl are found
Hid amongst the sedge
WATERFOWL
So ungainly on the ground
Quite displeasing to the eye
But when they effortlessly
Spread their wings and fly
They perform a graceful ballet
Across the bright blue sky
The seasons come and go
Almost monotonous I know
One after another, as planned
Like the sweep of a clock hand
Each season reminding us all
That from winter to the fall
Is yet another year slipped by
A step closer to when we die
A depressing thought I know
But let the seasons come and go
For I think it would be a crime
If their was to be no summertime
THE SHARP-EYED SPARROWS
The sharp-eyed sparrows
Darting too and fro
Examine the soil
Disturbed by the hoe
Picking out a morsel
And off they go
AS LENGTHENING SUMMER SHADOWS
As lengthening summer shadows
Give way to Autumnal shades
The last snows of winter
Are but a heartbeat away
INHABITING THE MARGINS
Inhabiting the margins
Of the waters edge
The waterfowl are found
Hid amongst the sedge
WATERFOWL
So ungainly on the ground
Quite displeasing to the eye
But when they effortlessly
Spread their wings and fly
They perform a graceful ballet
Across the bright blue sky
