All-Encompassing

As warm as sunshine and as cold as ice,
Nature's the mother for whom the birds sing.

Strolling through the woods, I embrace Autumn's
tactile and ethereal sensations.
From a crackling carpet of fallen leaves
to the smell of rotting logs and fungi,
Nature's presence is all-encompassing. 
And a chorus of skeletal branches
rattle, like bones in the wake of each breeze.

Each season
       Nature changes
           Her looks
              using color
                 to express Herself.
                     Spring is green
                      Summer
                       is khaki,
                      and Fall
                     dapples orange
                  and scarlet
              highlights on the trees.
           While Winter wears powder
       white
with crystals of ice.
