I Feel the Seasons Through You

mountain peaks seek to forever commune with the very essence of lofty skies held inside my innocence here on earth as a winter blanket lays white against me so too your jagged ridges and valleys I feel the white envelope surround about my tender written poem when comes the spring, the frosty bite is melt and gathers your riches softly deposit them onto the banks of new flowers that adorn your light coat rebirth is sent to unfurl its iridescent wings bring the growth to bear the fruit sparkle against my eyes in emerald hues the summer months warm our core open your pathways for exploration on high see the shepherd and goat together along with eagle soaring, we all mountaineers as we step into your vast intensity I feel your cool breath clear the fog from me see quietude descend tumultuous mind while the sun ripens your forests to Autumn glorious cascades of bronze, I swoon my footsteps echo the inevitable slide down to retreat to safe hearth of warmth dens of fortitude held fast I look upon your newly capped snow face and succumb to winters arrival
