There may come a time When I go out of my mind, Lest I see a light From above shine thru, And all renewed ‘neath the sun; Then the sky may fall...
Summer’s turned to fall, And soon will come winter-time, A cloud covered sun Robs wonder from mind; Until the spring comes thru Blessing us with light.
Though spring with its light Will come, first will come the fall. Go the whole way thru, It soon will be time To learn the limits of mind Lies under the sun.
And under the sun Is where you stand in the light; So keep it in mind. Summer’s turned to fall, And soon will come winter-time. Go the whole way thru.
Go the whole way thru; Look toward tomorrow’s sun. You will find no time For the bright spot-light When you wake up and it’s fall. It will blow your mind.
If spring’s on your mind, I’d advise, don’t think it thru. First will come the fall; A cloud covered sun Will block out all of the light, Then will come the time,
Your mind in the sun, And shining thru it, the light. But fall comes, this time.
This is a sestina made up of six pairs of haikus, and a single haiku at the envoi.
