Analysis of Heart's Seasons
Spear of diamond sunlight thrust
In autumn – a rare pure treasure,
Tiny specks, swirling dancing dust
Moments watched in dreaming pleasure
Prism of promise shimmering rays
Rainbow colours vivid reflect
Our full, calm lovely burnished days
Before dark winter raging crept
Harsh callous cold thief of desire
Black cloak swept across sure delight
Hurled tears hiss on blazing fire
Shivering chaos cuts constant night
And spring – looking out for fresh sun
To warm again a weary mind
Sparkle on plans only begun
Heart’s high-held hopes - dreams as designed
East winds piercing needles of frost
Destroying young shoots of fresh days
Harvests not reaped already lost
Savaged fragments in mind’s eye maze
Summer rise full with perfumed flowers
Let precious senses flow once more
Shine light across peaceful hours
Chase lost seasons and life restore
