I am Summer
I burn
I crackle
I sear through life
I'm the blistering
curse of Summer
It’s scorching hot today

Somewhere else
It’s Winter
The tomorrow that I’ll meet
The Winter blows such cruelty
when beaten back
By imminence of Spring
But do I care
I mean come on
It’s Summer over here
In the land of set-your-watch

It’s a type of jet lag traveled
Somewhere else its Winter
Somewhere else its Spring
And the most devious of all
the creaking joints of Fall
Experience a sudden shift of scenery
And you’re old before you know it

Lots of pondering in this one Walt...if I go back far enough, will I greet me again?

(smiles) Wow, talk about "Changes in Latitudes, Changing In Longitudes" like Jimmy Buffett said! (giggles) This is a wonderful use of figure of speech, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Walter, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
