Oleander Season

Oleander Season
Written By Fictional Name

It’s oleander season
The cold is turning cool
The reeds are getting sharper
Lying in the pool
Millions of fireflies
Coming from the east
Songs of tomorrow
Songs of the beast

It’s oleander season again
And we finally understand
Old sayings referencing
The lion and the lamb

It’s amnesia season
Bluestars everywhere
I forget the reason
And the history we shared
High and higher
lower we climb
Clear out the roots
Clear out the vines

It’s oleander season again
And we finally understand
Old sayings referencing
The lion and the lamb
If we notice, let it go

Dancing alone, with your letter, in the meadow,
Your face on the TV, and in the lake by Chicago
was it lost in the fire or saved by the water?
We haven’t seen it but we have it taped on the VCR
