The Summer’s Tale


When summers arrive
The flowers bloom in red and pink
The clouds are proud under a mild sun
Joy brings hope, connecting the bridges
The green fields grow
We see farmers sowing.

The summer leaves change hue
Blowing a hearty kiss
While her cold, monstrous nephew
Comes to take what was once bliss
The nights turn cruel
As we eat from a bowl.

The white clouds wear a scornful look
The trees still stand as friends
As Earth’s whiteness fades
Hearts are torn and broken
The moon stays all night
But dawn turns out to be a blight.

The hills covered with snow
The cold bites the flesh
Man and beast lie low
And strange mixtures mesh
A bird flies over the blue cloud,
and a proud smile grows.

The Earth gets colder
Lost on her way home
She becomes a stranger
Fearing all man’s shouts and booms
Praying that a bird flies high
To live quietly up in the skies.
