A South Florida Winter to a Young Northern Man

Contributed by mypetmeatball on Wednesday, 3rd February 2010 @ 06:37:10 PM in AEST
Topic: Nostalgic

Its as if I pulled a lever to stop a great gyrating cogwheel
The sweat beading on my brow rushes as a waterfall
Or would have, I would not require assumption
had it all not evaporated upon expulsion

My crescent eyes scan the oversaturated plain
I dont recall the world monochromatically beget
Yellow gulls sound off and take to yellow skies
And I assess the yellow feeling inside

A mere decade ago Id be hurdling over sprinklers
Wet shirt cohesive to my chest like animal skins
The ballfield would ignite my appreciation of hue
Manicured green harmonized with cerulean blue

Yellow translucence stands firm and trees stay fruitful
The waters ever warm as are sprinklers still spritzing
Summer lingers on from the cogwheels I thwart
Yet my face wears thin and the gulls still depart!

It just doesnt quite feel like summer when summer never goes

My catharsis erupts leaving only traces of yearning
-If I restore the lever will the world resume turning?
