A Season To Live

The leaves of autumn have fallen
carpeting a warm earth, sullen
before meditating in her lover's gift
diamonds upon her skin softly drift
sent down from a withdrawn sun
to prove his love was not undone
despite his distance from his earth
A promise of fidelity, their love's rebirth
in spring, in blossoms, in her infants' growth
with rain and warmth and love from both
mother earth and father sun they thrive
when given the chance to be alive.
