Season Dancer

Today out the window are all shades of blue
Snowflakes and clouds that whisper of you
And I still remember the way you enticed me
The snow by the river, barely flowing & icy
And I still regret that I had to soon leave
But springtime was coming with warm air to breathe

Today out the window the rain will soon fall
Upon greening leaves of flowers quite tall 
And I still remember the way you enticed me
The buds by the river and fish that surprised me
And I still regret that I ended our fun
But summer was coming and I wanted the sun

Today out the window is a blistering day
The Sunshine beckoning to swim time away
And I still remember the way you enticed me
The cool of the river that the hot sun denies me 
And I still regret that we soon had to part
But autumn was the season to calm my blazed heart

Today out the window I'm looking at home
The autumn leaves falling, you and I alone
And I still remember the way you enticed me
The flow of the river, disguising what I see
And I still regret that I had to go
But winter was coming, and I wanted snow.

I'm not usually a great fan of rhyme, but this one stuck in my mind...poignant and reflective, I could feel the regret and loss through the lines - congrats on your win in my contest :)

What a beautiful, although with a bit of melancholy , this poem speaks of love, and loss and seasonal change. Perhaps filled with hidden meanings. Lovely write Juli. ps......I'm so thankful for my placement in your recent contest....thank you very much !!

There is a lot of wisdom in this piece. We humans are so preoccupied with what is around the corner we sometimes miss the treasures in the moment. This is such a beautiful piece I'm glad I stopped and immersed myself in your creativity, I feel refreshed.

gosh, this is really really nice. and I loved the repetitive way you reinforced the meaning "and I still remember the way you entice me" almost like a Kyrielle!
