Notes About The Poem

Golden Time

Golden leaves upon the pear trees
No fruit to ripen though
Spring's frost killed it all in the bud
Always hope for next year's to grow

The air is damp and cool again
Charcoal gray clouds move in
There's a tet-a-tee between fall
And winter to begin

We never know about the seasons
It's unsure just like life
Which can zap us with unreason
Or blessings flow without strife

Just like life, seasons too have become so unpredictable. Sometimes the summer turns unusually warm and sometimes the rainy season so damp and flooding with rain pouring down day and night. In our place summer and rainy season are more prominent. Hope next time your pear trees will give you better yield. Beautiful poem.

Valsa, We ended up having a good crop even though the frost got so many of the early blooms. I was delighted with the outcome. God granted me the energy and ability to put up some pear preserves plus some pear pickles. Your visits always add so much to my page. Sara

I usually see all the blessing that life bestows upon us...even when it is summer time...I try to find the best in it, but alas it is almost winter and the chilly air is blowing upon us and I am in love with this weather at this time...the clouds that bear the name of shadow, brings to me an emotion like no other, a peace that is indescribable, a wonderful feeling of the greyness brings to me a joy that others fail to see! I enjoy the cloudy days, there is something in the air then, Great work!!

Good that you enjoy life no matter the season..Sometimes the heat of summer is hard to bear but I thank God for AC..It is so different from when we had to suffer it out through June,July,August,September and some of October..Sara
