As I push the lawn mower,
Past brush and broken dreams,
Of flowers growing in fields,
That will never cultivate reality,
Acres of promise,
Buried purpose by law,
Suffocated seeds awaiting,
To expose the future cause,
Only heat, air and summer rain,
Can change amid the times,
Love lost its circumstance,
Bonds dropped its cost,
Leaving all plans,
Lost,
Dare I use the summer,
To find them.
