exhausted
is how nature must feel by now
just exhausted
by continuing its glamorous appearance
while no nourishment has been granted
for the main part
of the two most demanding seasons
when it comes to effort
that of spring
and that of summer
it is hardly to be seen
meaning
there runs a certain continuity in the appearance
which prevent the inattentive spectator from observing
the difference
yet behind the scenery
the strength is running dry
and the effort it takes
to keep up the smile
is almost
insurmountable
almost
being enough
for life to go on
until rain comes again
