Will summer's love transcend
Or will it fade like the last red pale rose.
Clinging to the bush..
Destined to die a slow and lonely death..

Can summer's love reach beyond the supple green branches
full of life and hope
To the crumpled dying burnt orange
leaves lying on the ground..

Can summer love survive ..
The cold dreary November rain..
Can summer love linger
Through autumn's dreary night..

Will the heady scent that lingered
through summer's majestic reign,
Fly away with the birds, or will it remain,
And see us through autumn,s cold dark past.
And can it last..
