The sun too hot with melting rays
Gives warmth in winter's cold
Memories lost under summer's days
Sweat washes away thoughts of old
Burnt skin blistered under desert sky
Pain prevents thoughts of yesterday
Mirages under the sky of July
A season's advantages thrown away
Come the night and its frigid cold
Lost remembrances now return
Past sun burning bright, heat undersold
Under a cold blanketing heaven one prefers to burn

Ah you too find yourself writing poems early in the morning late into the night
They come when they come on no schedule my friend. Thank you for the read
Now that is where the circuits jumble and fry, only to return to that state once the overpowering present stimuli leaves 🕊️🙏🏻
Thank you Cryptic for the review and interpretation. Yes I get you and that circuit is still intact just as you are on track. Appreciate the read and words of understanding.
You’re most welcome Soren. Hope you’re doing okay🙏🏻🕊️
Your poem explores the complexities of human memory and emotion, emphasizing how seasonal experiences shape our perceptions and feelings. It invites readers to reflect on their own experiences with the seasons and the memories they evoke.
Overall, your poem seems to capture the interplay between warmth and cold, both physically and emotionally, inviting contemplation on how these elements shape our lives and memories
Thank you so much Friendship for your read and interpretation, it is most appreciated.
Soren,
How soon we forget, indeed. Always thinking that another season is better than the one we are in now. Forgetting the hardships of that season at the altar of the season we face now. Failing to see the good days of this season for the clouded memories of “the good old days.” It’s time to stop the madness and enjoy the moments of right here and right now. Thanks for stirring my heart and thought towards the present.
Thank you for your perceptive read and insightful interpretation it is always gratifying to see such connections. Your words are most gratifying and appreciated.
Each season has different memories and meanings to different people, a change in seasons can also see a change in some people, as I always feel emotions and feeling better are linked to seasons of nature, lovely write, enjoyed the read
So right you are. I thank you for your read and most kind and insightful remarks they are fuel for the fire and warm the soul.
You are very welcome
Hello,
For me this seemed a multi layered poem where there is more than what meets the eyes. It seemed an unfolding of a period perhaps a day though at the same time it could be a week month or season. As each cycle opens it ends only into new beginnings.Each grain of sand in the hourglass is renewed again. I enjoyed the read! Greetings and blessings,
R
