I woke up to a rainbow
And I knew
Summer was leaving and
Autumn was arriving
As they passed each other by
Summer with her sunshine
Autumn with her rain
An array of colours appeared in the gloom of it all
My eyes lingered on this vision for a while
If I only stared hard enough, the colours might stay, I thought
But rainbows can't remain, as is their nature they slowly fade away
And so must Summer
Right then we said our goodbyes
She gently let go of my hand and I let it happen
I'm ready now
Our newfound friendship I will keep
The memories of gentle warmth on my skin
Sweet scented flowers and the buzzing of bees that make them so
In a year's time we will meet anew
