Fast fades the glow of summer
from a once so youthful stare
as autumn leads forward and on
into the bitter cold.

While I prepare to cover up
trees shed leaves to ground
as a sign and symbol maybe
of deep seated honesty.

A prayer for seasons one and all
to lay bare the truth of love
and not the fear, the pain, dismay,
attached like flesh to bone.

Spun like a dial round to “survive”
I die not here today
and the glow of summer’s laughter,
warm in my memory,
follows me like shadows do
through the changing seasons.

Fast fades the glow of summer,
fast fades the day to night,
and fast the movement of a life
towards the final proof
of a paradise awaiting
even those who suffer, bleed.

And from the seasons of a life
many flowers grow and bloom
each one to line the path of heart
towards love’s honesty!

Helen (with apologies to those now stepping into Spring)

The seasons change so rapidly...fall is beautiful.
Loved this write.

To have lived the dream of a love so true...
is to have seen a glimpse of heaven.

Oh Helen dear, no matter what season it is,
your heart remains constant, and shines so beautifully.

After begging for spring for so long, and then hit with days that sent us into the middle of summer this was a perfect picture read as I hide from the heat!

Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind...

Thank you all so much for reading and commenting. My apologies for the typo in the title. And Bluesy, being constant can have its drawbacks when change is forecast but survival mode rules the day.
