Fading Into Winter

My springs
my summers
are gone.

My autumns
begin to fade 
life's winter approaches.

I am old and broken 
I feel the icy fingers of age
deaths frosty breath chills me.

How long before my eyes close
with the setting sun forever
I know not. 

I will not cry
when my winter ends
I'll depart at peace, with love.

Its a circle of life kinda thing lol, just like the seasons cycle from spring -birth summer-growth, fall-maturity, winter-passes on, so does life. Cycle is just another word for circle. Thanks!
