Whisky,
and memories of the traveler,
bend judgement
and reason toward the sun,
like flowers
born in soiled
myths of fertile dreams,
before the Winter winds
of logic leave them
withered,
blackened wisps
on frozen ground.
Summer
is a time for grandeur,
or at least
for tending plans of such.
I wonder,
will I miss you
much or not at all,
sitting here
wounds bound,
still healing,
dressings weeping
as they must;
all our toys are packed away,
like you,
cleaned
protected now from rust
and growing older.
Yes,
Winter is a time to plot
just as is Spring
the time to sow,
and Summer perfect time
to watch
the little horrors grow.
I'll miss you,
if at all, I think
when Autumn comes around.
I'll pack away my thoughts
and memories
in old bandages
and see what's left to reap.

My favorite time of year, Autumn. A touching poem of loss and healing.

icey:

this is a perfect rendition
of my life one year ago:

and Summer perfect time
to watch
the little horrors grow.
I'll miss you,
if at all, I think
when Autumn comes around.
I'll pack away my thoughts
and memories
in old bandages
and see what's left to reap.

and then again and again . . .

Amazing..simply amazing...

Iceman, this is such a good write. I love reading
about the seasons and I love the way you worked them in here.
