Counting Out the Seasons

Seasons come and seasons go

Flowers bloom and rivers flow

Leaves flutter in the breeze

Presents from immortal trees

I carved our secret names in one

Beneath a radiant setting sun

Committed there for all to see

A testament to you and me

***

Years pretend and flitter by

As we blink and lock our eyes

Searching hidden meanings

Counting out the seasons

***

One, if I could help someone

Two, it may be me or you

Three, open both our eyes and see

Four, there really is no more

Just you and I together

Two birds of a feather

***

Autumn’s blush and winter’s snow

Bitter winds and summer’s glow

Spring brings creatures on the wing

Parental trees in which they sing

We shared it all and laughed as one

Lived and loved until it’s done

Not immortal as the sturdy tree

How I wish you’re here with me

***

The years just seemed to flitter by

Flashed before my blinking eyes

Still searching hidden meaning

And counting out the seasons

***

One, I need to help someone

Two, it may be me or you

Three, open up my eyes and see

Four, there really is no more

You flew away forever

On wings of light and feather

One, if it’s all said and done

Two, I know that I’ve lost you

Three, I had to set you free

Four, there really is no more

Left searching out the meaning

Counting endless seasons
