Summer’s Loyalty
The nights are not endless
The first of the painted leaves
Has fallen
First of the Northerlies
Autumn morning
(Autumn morning)
But by noon
The sun will have burnt all doubt away
And the evening will bloom
How long can he hold his place?
Hiding his shyness behind fire-lit eyes
And his playful smile
Beguiling as waves
Time and again, lost as the day
But anyway,
Purposeful, large as a cat
Fluffed up and sure
Winter settles
Cloudless nights
Will turn soft things to metal (Turn soft things to metal)
And all will be darker and slow
Bare branches sleeping.
Playing in the shadows
Looking up through long lashes
Vulnerable
Behind the window pane
Singing songs to while the time,
swears of Summers loyalty
The nights are not endless
(The nights are not endless)
Winter smiles
About the Creator
Elsa Michaela | @surfthought
When you hear a song
One that stops you in your tracks
That seems spoken from your own mind
Do you listen and listen again?
Follow its streams until a tide,
Inside you
Rushes to fill in the small hollow parts
…Yeah, me too
