Lost

+ lost Summer +
Days of lost Summer
Stretched into years
Shiny young bodies
Worn out and worn down
Exiles all
From bountiful Summer
The days when we knew
Who we wanted to be
Where we would end up
The world we would make
Instead on the journey
Seems Summer's light was lost
All new summers were less
Sheen of our youth
Discoloured and flattened
All of our loving
Fires burning bright
Grew cold and so dead
Hopes suffered blight
Now we are looking
Seeking to find
Ways back to lost Summer
Left so far behind.
