Tempo change of the season

By Poem PiePublished 11 months ago • 1 min read

The ascension begins in reverse

A loud bawdy green

Attached to the source

Belting a bright tone of summer

Has begun to feel the change

A lack of oxygen

Green leans into yellow, into reds, intro browns

The longer nights begin and with it a new trumpet tune

A key change

A rhythm change

A preservation statement

With less flow through,

The time now comes for rest

Nutrients once pushing through every vein in time and tandem have slowed

down

their delivery service

A fast paced melody now gives way to Winter’s waltz

A swaying

A rush of wind and a new dance begins

One that floats on a breeze all the way to the ground

A tap dance had occurred

Thousands of petals falling at once

Now lie in wait for a creeping

An inching

of frost

upon their bodies

Covering the memory of vibrance and chilling the bones

A dormant state as a slow soft wail

A single note slowly dissolves

Peace for the season

A holy soft tone

Silence

Dawn brings a new movement

A crunching of crisp snow beneath the tiny boots of imagined explorers

A new song on the eternal nickelodeon
