may concedes to june
when spring rebirth is complete
the time to mature -
grassy hills turn verdant green
blossoms explode with color

july soon refines
june's promise of fulfillment
expanding its gifts -
fuller and vibrant glory
paints the mature summertime

late august moves in
Heading towards surrender
come autumn's flurry -
fading greens and colors hush
on their way to winter sleep
