Summer's light

Summer is approaching
evening's light
but slowly
fades

The trees are green
the flowers robed in colour
the birds busy
about their young

It is
as if
nothing
ever changes

But change
is always,
inexorably,
happening

You enjoyed
that sun splashed
spring
in the Year of Silence

Watching
the old cop shows
on the telly
as the sun went down

The last time
for one thing
and one more thing
crept up the calendar

Until darkness
crept into the
September
evenings

I am content
what happened
had to happen
at that time

The years
will keep coming round
and you'll be with me
forever
Our memories are with me until the Breaking of the Day when the Shadows flee away
