1st December 1st December came in Half of my world is in summer The trees abundantly offer their fruits For us to eat and to think Of the graciousness of nature The birds don’t nest their home Around here, on the trees, anymore, They have spread their wings to fly away I hear their chants in the distance And once in a while, opening my window I see them perching on electric wires Proud to be free, proud of their wings In most houses it's summer too The bells are about to ring happy ever afters Holidays, end year, and Christmas too, While others, still house winter in their heart 1st December came in, I woke up knowingly That there is nothing anymore to be saved I go on with my life, busy building my dream So that my next winter Might look like the summer Of this 1st December day. -Eiravel-
