Analysis of Season King

Zachiri Rose 2006 (Somerset)



My windows have gained tainted panes,
Whilst winter starts to take reign,
Snow has came,
And it begins to rain,
But rays of sunshine are dearly missed,
Today we mourn for the light which once kissed,
Our radiant faces now covered by mist,
But now ends winter,
And here comes Spring,
Then later Summer the Season King.

When birds are singing,
Lullabies of sort,
Rabbits digging,
With the fear of being caught,
By the wild red fox,
With its pointy yellow teeth,
Circle of Life vividly seen,
But the families are laughing on the bay of the beach,
Kids discovering tiny little creatures,
Parents teach all the tiny little lessons to be taught,
Whilst the whole lesson is the chance to meet.

So bring on Winter we'll survive it together,
The cold and the rain,
The clouds as a shelter,
We'll rise up like the moon and sun,
Though the sun is hibernating,
Fall like a feather,
With our spirit never breaking.
