seasons sing of struggle
chores demand our action
can’t get any traction
down and just can’t juggle
underserved with chuckles
need reboot of passion
daydreams of sweet dally
night dreams filled with diddle
double cream finale
noted worthy assay
notch headboard with tally
answers need no riddle
mindful be in both worlds
oyster growing new pearls

Thank you, Max. I don’t know if you remember that Mitski song about the pearl, where she wastes her life worrying about old trauma? The title is a nod to that song.
