In the cycle of nature
for mankind there is no eternity
but one life to nurture,
one shot at felicity.
 
Spring fresh and green
is the season of endless promise,
much time, many a dream,
into life we go with ease.
 
Then the Summer activity,
busy with energy tending our own, 
blinded in productivity,
is over before we know.
 
With the empty nest
the Fall brings the agony of doubt.
Did I live to my best?
Time is running out!
 
It was then you came,
sweet illusion of a second chance,
and I, too willing to trade
numb reality for a dance.
 
One day you were gone,
as I always knew you would go,
but I did not know
I would miss you so.
 
The cold ahead is scary
but without you I face my Winter
warm in sweet memory 
of that Indian Summer.
