Changing Seasons
Spring flowers blossoming in every direction,
The grass is greener than ever, the air more pure.
The world changes as winter blossoms into spring,
Transforming the world into an entirely different identity.
An unfamiliar identity that seems so foreign compared to the long winter.
These changes come about too quickly.
One minute your comfortable with the intensely cold temperature,
You’ve familiarized yourself with the blanket of snow outside,
You’ve mastered driving on the icy roads.
Then suddenly, the next minute, the snow melts away, dissolving into the ground.
The air becomes warmer as the sun peeps through the clouds.
All that was good and familiar has disappeared as new forms begin to sprout.
New strange things surround you, forcing you to accept its existence.
You’re trapped within a new, foreign environment.
Forced to accept the evident differences between the two seasons.
Like the changing seasons, my address will be changing,
My home, my school, my world - all changing.
These changes come about too quickly.
