Fall and Spring
Fall We have enjoyed and dreaded when the land was green The temperature hot and humid We have longed for better days Fall is here our prayers answered Fall with its gray days and plants ripe and red Ready to go to hibernation To sleep though the blue gray winter season Fall is here as a reminder To our reach in to adulthood Before we had to sleep to start again To rise up only after we fall down.
With hope and vitality of a new era In a new day in a new time scale Like never before like never after Fall again and fall many times over Every time with a new twist and a new fervor Once every year with out lapse On the third octave of annual time So it comes and goes as usual as always Fall it was, Fall it will be, So now fall it is.
And spring It is that time of the year When the cold and gray disappear When warmth and beauty takes over When flowers bloom When hibernation ends When what has slept awakens When those that died the small death resects Once again for another cycle, For another one year term.
O beautiful spring you come and go again Ornamented with flowers of blue red and green Scented with exotic fragrance of your bloom To make us feel and to turn us on To remind us yet still there is time To live life and play the game.
O spring the site of the beginning The herald of resurrection The reminder of death and life again.
The emblem of new beginning Upon every older ending The assurance of ever continuity Of the species as we know them and not From past eternity to the future eternity.
