When this season
Comes to a close
It does so with a finale
There is excitement that another season is starting
But we never forget the greatness
That was --
Small movements
Like those inside the body of a clock
Make everything end right here
So perfectly
It is easy to forget
This was not a clock
This could have not happened
Just like this
Planning helps
Good fortune helps
Sleep helps
But this moment
This glorious moment
Climbs on the back
Of its time-father
And becomes a fatherly self
And with the broad shoulders
Of a loving mother
Does this season also run home to save
From the work required
In making something so beautiful
Occur so seamlessly
Again and again
