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!
