Another Ring

Jennifer Paige©2000

In the spring when love is new, buds are tender, kissed with dew

Branches reaching towards the sun in praise of life that's just begun

Swaying with willowy branches lithe, weeping with new pleasure, cries

Singing sighs and secrets shared, with lovers of dreams with which we're paired

Life's blood rages through the veins, a fire that's cooled by summer rains

Scattered passion to the winds while desire's blossom blooms therein

In fertile fields of verdant green and the sticky sweet of everything

Veiled in fragrant steam and then the burning blaze begins again

Crowning glory of harvest red, wind blows colder, long lives we've led

In the throughs of Autumn's hold, warm with sunkiss, wet with gold

Sowing the seeds of wisdom there, all too soon the loving branches bare

Whispered wishes, prayers for peace, our only comfort the season leaves

Stripped are the trappings of our youth in facing long Winter's bitter truth

Leaving only a shroud of frost, a frigid beauty, hope is not lost

For here the sun still peeks it's head, roots are deeper than what is dead

Cold words of snow may freeze and sting, All, in the end, is another ring

     All, in the end, is another ring

     All, in the end, is another ring
