Seasons: A Poem


Once upon a time, there lived a man, or so the saying goes.

He lived, worked, and played among the aging stones.

How strange it seemed the change started without

Him being aware.

How strange it seemed the change started without

Him having a care.

 

Once upon a time, a wizened owl lived, or so the saying goes.

He watched the man idly by perched among the stones.

How strange it seemed the change occurred without

Him wondering why.

How strange it seemed the change occurred without

Noticing the shifting sky.

 

Once upon a time seems so long ago, or so the saying goes.

The man, the owl are now long gone now but thus remain

The stones.

How strange it seems that time untouched the turning

Of the tide.

How strange it seems that all the while we lived and so

We die.

 

Seasons.
