 I can hear the winds of summer calling

My seasonal lover's sweet song

The sun is rising, golden and shining

The winds are warm as the days grow long

A chilly breeze wraps around my soul

The days grow darker as the leaves turn brown

My lover is gone, leaving a heart black as coal

The minutes tick by slowly, as autumn rolls into town

The icy hand of winter knocks on my door

Fall has fallen, and whiteness blankets my heart, frozen

No hope can grow while smothered, mine is no more

I sit alone in this winter, helpless and broken

My frozen bones creak in the great thaw of spring

My hope sprouts shoots that will eventually flower

The leaves rustle as the trees sing

I rise, renewed, awaiting the return of my seasonal lover
