Seasons in the sun

Wistful
like the morning dew
that leaves the warmth
of the blooming rose

Forlorn
Like the cherry blossom tree
that sheds its children
in the chill of autumn

Yearning
Like the warmth
overshadowed by the
cold of winter

Melancholic
Like the gentle flakes
of pure white snow
that melt away

Disconsolate
Like the man
who's met his love
only to lose her

Season come
and seasons go
Regret is never eternal
but the pain remains
