In the Dawn Of A New Season
by June LabyzonIn the dawn of a new season
beauty fails to fall
setting pale the sun
I adapt to the change
it is different than settling
the switch won't be a forever
one.
In the dawn of a new season
the power lies in simplicity
a simple splash gone in a moment
perhaps a little less cozy
than the one before.
In the dawn of a new season
I walk in the sunlight
looking for spiritual challenges
preparing for the blue soul nights
when the silence is louder than the voices;
in my head.
In the dawn of a new season,
I blow out the candles
weaving a rhapsody
of small hissing rhythms;
the large dark emptiness
cold against my hips.
In the dawn of a new season
I spin around and around
to face my heart
it disappears with each turn
playing peek-a-boo
with my eyes.
