The Arrow of Time

by Wishes

The seasons slowly change,
And relentless winter will turn to spring,
And, standing on the verge of summer,
It will be easy to think
That the seasons are a cycle,
Repeating endlessly.

But seasons are only time,
And time is but an arrow
That travels ever onward
In one directions only.
Each season is a new one,
Not that of a year before.
Spring will recur, dear heart,
But this moment won't return.
