Passing By Poem by Smoky Hoss

Passing By

Rating: 5.0


The seasons leave
like grown children moving
out of the house -
It's fall now
the sky gray
the weather warmer than usual,
humidity hangs about
like a drape of melancholy
that though dreary
makes you glad it isn't
much colder -
I think of all the seasons past.
I wonder if autumn
has recollections of it's own,
thus the reason it cries
between moments broken
with rays of inexplicably wonderful sunshine -
The birds who fly away,
as they must, pass by
with such purposeful intent,
while the ones who choose to remain
eat and sing as if tomorrow
were only a fable from long ago -
Some days I believe winter is not coming;
others I fear the cold beyond words.

Change of seasons everyone wants. Stagnation is a sign of ruin. Moving on witj season makes us survive.
