Old went to kill the seasons

Sulking in angry blossoms.

Old was proud

Nature couldn't touch him

And his prayers went above

To choke them who took his youth.

Instead he came back

With no cherry

For the old said,

"𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘦

𝘎𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦

𝘗𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨

𝘛𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘺"

Just then the sea says

"𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘵, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘷𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘴

𝘔𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘮𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥— 𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘺

𝘏𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘦 recent

𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘪𝘯 𝘪𝘵

𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴, 𝘮𝘺 𝘰𝘭𝘥

𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯

Faith, you've let go

You've let go of yourself

Broke open your old to find the young

Did you not find love in these crinkled skins?

Did you not love how the children bring flowers?

You abuse your present, my dear old

And you think

The seasons shall entertain you?"
