SENSES AND SEASONS

We saw under the sun

And looked through the dusk.

We watched in the dark

And made our own sight.

We woke to birds’ cries

And heard as leaves browned.

We listened in the rain

And recorded all the sounds.

We treasured scents of summer

And enjoyed them in autumn.

We played in winter’s perfume

And saved it as our pleasure.

We touched in searing heat

And caressed its fresh sequel.

We made love in cold air

And warmed its chill with us.

We tasted sweet sun’s skin

And savoured it in shadows.

We coiled in coldest night

And cuddled in crisp light.
