The bright world in its cycle spun In the air and flowers, frass and fern, Assured and cradled by the sun. Always before, you could explain The turning darkness of the earth, And how that dark embraced the rain, And gave the ferns and flowers birth. Already I forget those things, And how a vein of gold survives The mining of a thousand springs, The season of a thousand lives. Now winter is my memory, Now autumn, now summer light - So every spring from now will be Another season into the night. Last Modified: Sunday March 15, 2009 |
