I embrace the Spring but yearn for Fall
Brown orange scenes and Winter’s call
When the need for someone starts to burn
And we forget the pain and lesson learned
Clinging to the closest but not the right
Just someone to hold you for a night
And hope true love might find a way
To convince the other to want to stay
Bleach white shirts and pitch black suits
A tree of life with love at the root
They stand around one still and pale
And remember some past smile or tale
No words dare spoken only wind
For these broken hearts that might not mend
Then down to darkness the pale one descends
Only to be seen again when this world ends
I make confessions not truth but lie
And if found guilty I wish to die
For unlike the living I do not dread
My last day I wish instead
You stay present as silence nears
Proclaiming love but yield no tears
For I’m consumed by bitterness
No longer strong but indeed much less
And so Spring comes and darkness fade
Much like the words we said and love we made
But not by our bodies but manipulation
Thus our dysfunction and complication
And in church walls lust was found
With a glance and smile but not a sound
Conversations of love and holy union
To justify and misguide confusion
With deep blue and dark brown eyes
Saints saw your smiles and forgot your lies
But a mistake was made and you were seen
Looking as though you saw numbers in green
Money no but each other yes
But nothing to promote, encourage or bless
Vanity you convinced yourselves to believe
A deep true love that might never leave
The world will end not far but soon
On some ordinary bright afternoon
With a flash of light too bright see
We will all ascend into eternity
And Spring will live such as time
With no one left to cross a mind
For either bone or ash we will lay
On just another God made day
I’m good for one
And maybe too
Sometimes three
But that’s up to you
