Seasons are quickening Redshifting streaking an ebony sky Hurling meteoric handballs Through the space of no time Someone’s shuffling the deck of days Reading the hearts and spades as they play One turning into the other The other turning into one Diamond heart of antiquity Crisp-clear seeds piercing crystal clouds Torrents of thinking tears falling Heaven's warehouse of available thought Flooding the worn weary Seeking shelter From themselves Speeding down the highway of no time Chasing summer Chasing spring Summer’s silence shouts from an empty rooftop You’re an orphan now ‘How can this be’ You cry out An echo reverberates ‘What was that you said’ Old man winter slugs through The showy season heavy Looking for the one that got away. One doesn’t necessarily follow the other Measured thought collapses onto itself He doesn’t know it And is okay It’s warp speed And a slow grind At the same time Summer was wrong You’re destiny’s child.
