A TIME FOR COUNTING
They’re the reason for the season
Winter perched on its edge grunting
Wanting to freeze our reason
Teasing all that keep counting.
All the plotting of the rotting
Spring springing holy yet meager
Eager the man’s seeds dying
Trying all that keep counting.
In the knowing of the growing
Summer thoughts they are in the knife
Rife with the dreams of racking
Packing all that keep counting.
Vain is the death of making meth
Fall falling down life doesn’t care
Where it is not even raking
Taking all who reap counting.
Winter perched on its edge grunting
Wanting to freeze our reason
Teasing all that keep counting.
All the plotting of the rotting
Spring springing holy yet meager
Eager the man’s seeds dying
Trying all that keep counting.
In the knowing of the growing
Summer thoughts they are in the knife
Rife with the dreams of racking
Packing all that keep counting.
Vain is the death of making meth
Fall falling down life doesn’t care
Where it is not even raking
Taking all who reap counting.
