SEASONAL
- by Phil Potter (1980)

I am perplexed.

Shades of brown bleed through summer green
Like sunrays burning through a misty fog.

Once every time around, orange, red, and yellow
Splash against hillsides and seep into valleys.

There has been no mention of time.
Yet creatures everywhere prepare for inevitable change.

The little village floods
With waves of apprehensive life
eagar to learn
to love
and some
to leave

The masses become a river of ceaseless tide
Those who flow find lifegiving experiences
Some resist
They perish

In the river there is food
and poison
In the tide there is warmth
and cold
In the flow there are helping hands
and hindering snags

Many, those who wish
Gain strength and spirit
And swim joyously to the ocean.
