Mercury dances in its skyscraper cell
Rising and falling like rhapsody
And I see winter broken like lace
In time for a celebration
Thaw wails inside the walls and laughs in the corners
Delighting in its evident victory
Till I feel springtime counting its days
Of flaunting a novel sensation
Like it's leaving, leaving behind the weight
Vying for yesteryear
Leaving promises in its wake, whispering
My love, you're still here
Hold on to your memories of sundogs and
rainbows
As time writes a premature eulogy
And I feel summertime passing in haste
Like running out of patience
Quilted with knit and umbrellas and scarfs
And a mild understanding of irony
I feel autumn leaving the race
All done with the exhilaration
It's leaving, leaving behind the weight
Vying for yesteryear
Leaving promises in its wake, whispering,
My love, you're still here
Mercury dances in its skyscraper cell
Rising and falling in harmony
And I feel winter stealing my days
To herald another creation
