The Arrow of Time

Until the sun rises 
The moon and stars hang
Notes of nature sound off  
That feeling of peace settles 
Into your soul 
 
Time pauses where you left 
Where before you felt 
As if the world continues on 
Whilst you stayed in the same place 
 
Here, now 
Becoming of you 
The person that you're made to be
One that was left frosted by the winter 
Waiting to be melted 
 
When spring comes 
Of course, love is in the air
The beauty of birth is celebrated 
This time, however,
The viewer of these seasons 
Becomes the view 
 
When the stars burn out 
And the moon falls into her descent 
The sun extends his arms 
There will always be light 
As time continues on
And the season changes
