Killer of Spring

Spring arrives at the garden of life, behold! 
He walks to the flowers and turns the cold

Summer-like warmth lands to the flowers 
They flow and glow-up bright with powers 

Spring watches the sadness fade away 
Yet not a single flower asks Him to stay

He shies away for awhile hoping for the best 
Maybe this happiness shall bring forth a fest

The whole garden feed, from him, and grow 
Only, the flowers had the persona of a crow

Spring looks to those flowers once more 
To see what else they had for him in store

He sees forgetfulness and its mouths drooling 
“Who needs the Spring when we are blooming?”

Spring cries to the ground, his tears vaporize 
They thought all was well, they didn’t realize

That spring goes faster than any season 
And if that were not enough for a reason

Then remember your person and respect 
Once you use him as a tool, don’t expect

Him to live so long for you to enjoy time 
By God, he’ll die in a manner, so sublime

And the shadows of the dry trees will cast 
Upon these darker paths that you walk past

Then when summer came, and the flowers dried 
They screamed for him, but their Spring had died
