Equinox - Stuart Kabak

We saw the faithful sun go down

When the equinox arrived

At the start of another round

Only one of us survived

And the days grew shorter than before

An autumn wind was chilling

One sorry soldier off to war

Afraid and yet so willing

Oh wordless winter wonder chill
Your season is returning
Someone told me you had smiled
On the autumn leaves still burning
And a cinder flew into my eyes
Brought me down to tears
As the songs of sorrow I have cried
Fell upon deaf ears

And so I sit close to the stove
The kerosene is burning
Feeling wiser feeling old
They say life is for learning
Still I curse the equinox
For the darkness she will bring
But I'll be damned if my heart stays locked
While waiting for the spring
