A poem on melancholy and the seasons of life.

A winters pale,

gilded by the splintered

shards of spring time;

their essence seared 

into summer, bright

embers soared on

autumns wing.

One meld of hours and

seasons, rendered throughout

a medley of shades; 

though variable,

their subtle portends 

cannot affect his 

listless disposition.

In a barely lit

room, he perceives

through sullied panes,

the multifarious

revolutions of

a perpetual

carousel.

Unmoved at the

rounded periphery

of its vast rotations,

he is apathetic

to the spectacle,

and the expounded

discerning of opportunity.

    Reminds me of Eleanor Rigby. You lost me on the last two lines, but very cool.
