Caramel Fields

Through the corridors of bare trees,
I can see caramel colored fields
Shimmering in the sun
I stand on green grass, left-over from summer
Before, I walk on the crunching puddles
Already frozen with ice
I am in the middle of the seasons
That are saying goodbye and hello
Readying for a long winter walk
Through many passages of time
            With so far to go

Somehow I can just picture the seasons saying hello and goodbye to you, my friend, as you stand in their midst. Such a personalized poem! :) gw
