A Season's Dance
Stretching long, without goodbye
Weary from the summer's play
The rolling hills are losing green
But laughing to a cloud flecked sky
while catching autumn's leaves
~
Autumn days show quiet grace
A fading trace of yesterday...
We watch a sky yield a change of hue
Turning gray from shades of blue
But there is now a harvest moon
Dancing to a different tune
For, winter's coming soon
~
After trees have lost their hue
Let the wind bring seasons new
I'll smile upon the pillowed earth
that brings a sense of peace instead....
A winter spread of snowy mounds
A softer sound upon the ground
as snowflakes waltz around
~
Until the birds return again,
I'll watch the dance of green begin
I'll brush the blossoms off my head
then,... dance because it's spring !
