A Life In Seasons

How graceful the gentle breeze; A new dawning of ageless beauty, The complete surrounding of pretty blooms to be And the carpet of the sweetest grass All create the Spring this life has grown to know. The freshness of a new world Embraced by a willing blue sky, There is just so much to live for As one looks beyond the seeds to sow. The tuning of Time delivers new birth With infant animal young And soft showers of rain Caress lands with its innocent glow. How plentiful this glorious calm; The harvest now ready to reap, The abundant earth a great provider Beneath a starry eyed sun. This is Summer of warm nights and warmer days, A time of inviting oceans of an immaculate sheen. The pure cotton like clouds To the shepherds delight, Golden sands hot to the touch And restful hours beside trees of brilliant green. How colourful the falling leaves; Patterns forming underfoot, The ground now a mosaic. A classic Autumn rhythm And a time of great reflection, An inspiration for soulful walks. Rushing tides and the crisp white spray, Dark blue grey skies and their cleansing rain Fresh dreams on promised lands, A night time friend towards an eventful day. How peaceful Earth is; The tender white satin covered land, Diamond like stars in a black sky And the magical essence of Christmas. Here is Winter of perfect ivory Of red berries and evergreen, Joys on frozen lakes and ornamental icicles. The gentle sound of trickling streams And the chorus of a romantic scene. As Life passes by with its now crystalline ground Ready for the new year,known but unseen.
