Autumn Equinox

Summer slips and falls and winter awaits like a nemesis, Legion

But here and now, autumn sprawls before us, for another season

Farewell light, 'tis now the realm of darkness beyond this equinox

Until the tide of time realigns the days, all gauged by restless clocks

All too soon the witches will awaken their cold reptilian blood

To course through veins, like the Styx, in a dark Cimmerian flood

And SAD will stir itself from its slumber and take centre stage

On its sadistic mission to consume us all in its parasitic phage

Now there's no time or space for summer, for autumn's calling

And the sombre gathering shadows are disconsolately crawling

So light fires to dispel the demons, let beacons burn upon the tors

To cast the dwindling twilight across to distant and future shores

For soon, leaves will fill the air, golden brown and russet red

To fall to the earth, they were once alive, but now they're dead

For the tide of time is dire and pours through three month blocs

Flowing into a realm of darkness, after another autumn equinox
