If love were a season,
It would begin in the Spring; warm and tender.
As the gentle rains fell, love like a flower
Would grow, reaching ever higher
For the warming Sun.
Just as if love were any season,
Before we knew it
The bright hot sun of the summer
Would scorch our love.
Forcing us to seek the shelter
Of each others protective embrace.
If love were any other season,
The chill of our words
Would become the ice
on the ponds that dot our hearts.
Waiting,
Waiting still,
For the season to change
Us back into the succulent splendor
That was our spring time beginning!
