it must have been in summers past

that ripe time when it all was still

          waiting for harvest
          did i wait too long

and wander through the orchard of life
always waiting to find that perfect fruit

          that would feed a hunger
          which would finally consume me

that i would have known
that hunger and time eat each other 

          and if you wait too long
          then there is nothing left

but hunger for summers past.
