Summer's Gone

The dark time has arrived again
summer time has gone away
where once the sun rose up and smiled
now the moon tows the line

Birds still sing the morning glory
but go unseen, now in the mornings
where once I watched them as they danced
from tree to tree, branch to branch

Twitching heads and flapping wings
feeding chicks, watch them dig
where once was filled with joy and glee
the dark time has taken that from me

Depressing days, sleepless nights
its dark from morning, noon to night
I wait in hope until the day
the sun returns and wants to play
