Seasons Change<\/em><\/h5>\n

by Candace Barnes<\/p>\n

i.<\/p>\n

When I left for the hospital<\/p>\n

The night was bitter cold,<\/p>\n

And snow lay on the ground.<\/p>\n

I know of weather what I\u2019m told;<\/p>\n

There is no weather here.<\/p>\n

ii.<\/p>\n

My stay is longer than expected<\/p>\n

And day folds into day.<\/p>\n

Time passes slowly, hour by hour,<\/p>\n

Less real the longer I stay.<\/p>\n

But still the time marches on.<\/p>\n

iii.<\/p>\n

Coming home from the hospital,<\/p>\n

The chill was gone from the air.<\/p>\n

The snow has melted all away;<\/p>\n

The yard is dotted with crocus here and there<\/p>\n

And daffodils push through the ground.<\/p>\n

iv.<\/p>\n

While I was ill the seasons changed.<\/p>\n

I left in dead winter, came home in early spring.<\/p>\n

Just as the seasons chase one another,<\/p>\n

My illness waxes and wanes.<\/p>\n

If I am patient, spring changes come again.<\/p>\n
