Illustration of a person sitting on the floor in the corner with their head and hands resting on their up-bent knees. There does not seem to be a room, just the corner surrounded by darkness and clouds. The clouds above the distressed person's head are parting, and a healing glimmer of light shines through. That light, is usually the kindness of others. Be good to one another.

“A Change of Season”

Listen to a reading of this poem (0:57)

Each time reaching for the light outside the tomb
a man falls harder to the ground than ever
Slipping from the wire… again and again
Before the end of torrent weather…
Comes Change of Season

Yet not before each of his petals
has wuthered through the breeze… realization appears
Though it seems, destruction’s end draws nigh,
it’s only the view, drowning below typhoon seas… Fleeting

Yet every man must slip into an empty space
Must slide back
If his heart lies with the truth
On will he go…above the pit of snakes
But if his heart lies to himself
His dreams will be gone

For now we wait…for gentle footsteps
Now we wait… for Change of Season.

The full moon and Chrome OutOfExile text glows, as if part of the diamond ring effect. The full moon image is a a still from footage taken in New Hampshire – 2015.
