A poetic song about loss and the change of seasons (literal and metaphorical). It’s unclear whether June is a person or a month/season. It’s probably both. I wrote this song during the month of June, when everything felt so pale and full.
lyrics
June
I have come to pray
in this forest of mine,
where the skies are thick with emerald greens
branches point in all directions
and tree roots are endless snakes
in the grass,
echoing the changes, and time that has passed
June,
You are pale and full
like a shooting star
I will catch you when you fall
into summer
I’ve come to pray for you
under this haven of birds,
where colors melt into soft grounds
and silky buds are tinted with sunlight
playing with what is lost and what is yet to be found
June,
You are pale and full
like a shooting star
I will catch you when you fall
into summer
