From the recording FIVE - THE FIFTH SEASON
The poem celebrates summer as a season of joy, abundance, and shared love, where sunshine, laughter, and fresh fruit become symbols of happiness and togetherness. Images of peaches glowing like lanterns, berries as jewels, and cherries burning red capture both the sensual richness of the season and the sweetness of intimacy. Time slows in the warmth, giving space for love to flourish in simple pleasures — walking through meadows, tasting fruit, basking in golden skies. At its heart, the lyrics are a nostalgic snapshot of a perfect summer, suggesting that love, like the season, feels eternal even as it slips away.
Lyrics
VERSE 1
The orchard hums with honeyed light,
Each peach a lantern, soft and bright;
The berries blush in morning’s hand,
Sweet jewels upon the waking land.
VERSE 2
Your laughter ripples through the heat,
Like rivers winding, cool and sweet;
We share the sun, we share the day,
And watch the meadow’s children play.
VERSE 3
The air is warm, the grasses sing,
With scents of mint and apricot skin;
Time lingers slow, the hours bend,
As if the summer need not end.
VERSE 4
So taste the cherries, red with fire,
The season grants our heart’s desire;
A love, a song, a golden sky—
Forever summer, you and I
