Floating down softly,

A fluttering touch:

An end and new dawn

To Earth's many spells.

Delicately perched

On the dry soils of summer

Like a gentle caress

To an intimate lover.

Tryst with its mate-

The verdant Earth,

Kept apart by clocks:

Tick tock

Until the gnarled hands reach their place;

Two ill-fated beloveds,

May meet once again,

Amidst sadistic pleasures

To keep them away.

Yet, as always,

Love triumphs:

In harmony with Fate.
