tick tock, the pendulum rocks, as we take stock
days pass, the weather changes on the fly
a blade glints in the young mans eyes
a gull cries into autumnal skies
a gull cries into autumnal skies
Spring buds a new flower bloom, an end to the gloom?
winter hums her final tune, alone under a bright new moon
a first kiss, as new love sways like a tree in the breeze
knocks you off your feet, spring just a tease of summers ease
the young man drops to his knees
the young man drops to his knees
Seasons change quickly, days keep passing so briskly
memories of summer in the park, or on the beach spent with glee
they keep flooding me, brief reminders of yesterday
when we used to run and play, before the world turned scary and grey
the young man watches as hope walks away
the young man watches as hope walks away
The orange autumn call, like waterfalls of amber blossom teardrops
leaves fall in golden raindrops from the tree tops
ground shrouded with remnants of summer's passing, in the sky clouds amass
to watch as the days are drawing, and the nights begin to trespass
the young man bleeds in the dead grass
the young man bleeds in the dead grass
Winter falls as the last chime is called
the bells ring out for one and all
the year ends as it begins, sirens and gunpowder to see it in
the young man lays with broken skin
the young man lays with broken skin
the cycle begins again, a web of tangled memories, the endless threads we spin
Thanks For Reading
Peace & Love.

I was never entirely happy with the last version of this piece, it was always supposed to have a slightly darker edge, this version is closer to my original intentions.
I am also hopeful that this will be one of my first spoken word pieces performed live to a real audience.
