You're Still Here

Mercury dances in its skyscraper cell
Rising and falling like rhapsody
And I see winter's broken like lace
In time for a celebration

Thaw wails inside the walls
And laughs in the corners
Delighting in its evident victory
Till I feel springtime counting
Its days of flaunting a novel sensation

Like it's leaving
Leaving behind the weight
Vying for yesteryear
Leaving promises in its wake
Whispering, my love, you're still here

Hold on to your memories
Of sundogs and rainbows
As time writes a premature eulogy
And I feel summertime passing in haste
Like running out of patience

Quilted with knit and umbrellas
And scarfs and a mild
Understanding of irony
I feel autumn leaving the race
All done with the exhilaration

It's leaving
Leaving behind the weight vying for yesteryear
Leaving promises in its wake
Whispering, my love, you're still here

Mercury dances in its skyscraper cell
Rising and falling in harmony
And I feel winter stealing my days
To herald another creation
