Already darkness comes sooner,
and the days pass so quickly.
Nights last forever
in the coming winter, yet my own.
Old friends and acquaintances fall behind me
to disappear in fading dreams.
Others will long endure this journey
towards the westering sun.
I feel the approaching winter,
in the biting wind,
the taste of snow
bitter on the tongue.
Passages and transitions;
the seeds of tomorrow
lay deep in summer's ruin,
while New Years day may find me...
...soaring in the sun.
Maybe New Years day will find me
waiting for the dawn
maybe, maybe not... in winter, yet my own.
