Farewell to Summer

 by Ethan "JB" Goldman


Days blaze in the sky, without cloud or remorse

Fade into silent Nights, utterly without mirth.


So farewell well to Summer

The Fall’s settling in

Winter will have its hour

Before the Spring will begin


If Fire seems a little dimmer

If Waters waves no longer crest

If the Air is just a bit dimmer

Even if the metals now tarnished

Know that we know you did your best


So farewell well to Summer

The Fall’s settling in

Winter will have its hour

Before the Spring will begin


The more things Change, the more things never do

When one Breaks into pieces, then one becomes two

And so we obey that last order so cruel

That poisonous command, to outlive you.


The time for silence has come, though the faces are sadder

And though your hall is empty, except for a unmarked grave

Know that your efforts matter.

Know that this choice will stay.


So farewell well to Summer

The Fall’s settling in

Winter will have its hour

Before the Spring will begin


I may not be able to save you

But, until we find out if  i could

Farewell Edaonae

Farewell, Blackwood
