Seasonal losses of love

** seasonal losses of love ***

Lost love in warmer times
So different from lost love in Winter
The weather does not conspire with you
Rain and hail and cloud reflecting
Tragedy of your heart cut asunder
For beaches are not made for grieving
How can you properly lament
If you are sitting in a pool of sweat
Worrying if you may get sunburnt

Life barges on so enthusastically
In those warmer climes
All are busy at their many pursuits
Always out and about doing
Unwilling to pause and participate
In your tearful pitying introspection
So hard to claim true isolation
To set yourself completely apart
For into sunlight they call you
To participate anew in activities plentiful

The air is warm and fragrant
Even Nature is bountiful lush and full
Bees drone happily on summer breezes
Sporting events and festivals to distract
How can you encapsulate pitiful grief
In a tshirt drinking margaritas at an al fresco bar
Surrounded by summer's bright palate

One must eventfully surrender
All thoughts of love lost grieving
A grief which would have
Sustained you all Winter long
Thrown into trashcan of experience
Instead join in and drink Summer honey
Nimbly chase love and companionship afresh
Bright flitting hummingbird of Summer
Not a dour black croaking Winter raven.
