Harlequin

Harlequin

As summer ebbs to autumn gold
The harlequin spreads wide his vest
From crimson layers the light unfolds
Offering up a vibrant jest

The harlequin spreads wide his vest
Time shimmers on the burnished air
Offering up a vibrant jest
Finds the dusty brackened lair

Time shimmers on the burnished air
Young lives are lost through absent care
Finds the dusty brackened lair
Revealed the cancer we all share

Young lives are lost through absent care
From crimson layers the light unfolds
Revealed the cancer we all share
As summer ebbs to autumn gold
