Seasons
by Sandy Vrooman
the year begins rehearsals for ending
testing the sets with different lighting
beginning the chilled nights
which encourage the deep sleep
that period when time stands still
a balance between light and dark
announcing act three in the life
that glorious flame colored prelude
time to fatten up for hibernation
to put life in cold storage or
vacation in the southern hemisphere
where they play at spring
the years recycle but individuals
play the game of life only once
we squander our spring and summer
only to lament its passing in our fall
volume 11(6)
