Winter is running and fall chases
Summer fell asleep and spring is chastened
Lovers call out in anguished pleas
Souls ask why and hearts aim to please
Minds wonder and ask how
Time careens around lives seeking
Winds clasp us in hugs of cool
Wishes ask for time and love says
Let’s go see the night and be
Let’s see night and stop and plea
So hold us now
Love hold us now
Not to wait – not to bow
Let’s say it now and say it loud
Let’s pull our lives and love from the shroud
Come see and say and love and laugh
Go ask and answer and stop the bash
We are the night and morning light
We hold our love
We say it right

I found there lives within me,
    an invincible summer.
