Every Season Comes Back, Years Do Not

The world fills again with sunlight

Each new day grows brighter and longer

There is blossom on trees and birds sing a song

The promise of youth and new beginnings

She calls him: ‘My big strong dreamer’

They sleep in the grass under the trees

He calls her a thousand sweet names

Their soul love emerging from within

When you’re young, spring feels like infinity

As if there’s no end to this joy

But in all it’s youthful turbulence

Spring passes, slowly summer begins

—

Great is the sun, and wide his rays go

Through an empty blue sky with repose

Occasionally, by way of contrast

God draws the heavens and sends in the rain

She calls him ‘my big love forever’

They sleep on the shore in the starry night

He declares her his love and proposes

In the timeless now, their bond evolves from within

When summer arrives, they rest in her beauty

Their love like two burning diamonds

But soon the heat ends, milder rays descend

Summer passes and suddenly autumn begins

—

The days grow short, nights getting longer

Storm weeps loudly, rain forming puddles

But that doesn’t bother them at all

They still have each other to hide and to hold

She calls him ‘my true companion’

Every night they tug their children in

He tells her she made his life complete

They look at their kids and smile from within

When autumn arrives, green meadow turns brown

Their love is touched by warm colors

But soon nature is moving to quiet sleep

Autumn passes and cold winter begins

—

In winter death caresses everything

That fact cannot be eliminated

Briefly like a butterfly is our existence

When you have to let go of each other

She calls him ‘her love for eternity’

He lies on her sick bed besides her

Silently holding her in his old arms

A last look in her eyes, cold grows from within

When winter arrives, everything hibernates

Your sap is spent, all is emptiness

You long for a blossom, for new light brought

Every season comes back, years do not
