Welcome each other A passing, of conversation Whispers into the ear of one, to the next Conversing back and forth as banter will do Only until suddenly, The conversation stops And only one is left The whispers of the other are gone, And the chatter has stopped To all be left on the sole speaker, The new season

Just as the summer seems to shutter In the thought of winter, Spring was there to fade it out In the mornings and nights, So summer only knows from the memory That winter was so far from where it is now
