I Feel the Seasons Through You
mountain peaks seek to forever commune
with the very essence of lofty skies
held inside my innocence here on earth
as a winter blanket lays white against me
so too your jagged ridges and valleys
I feel the white envelope surround
about my tender written poem
when comes the spring, the frosty bite
is melt and gathers your riches
softly deposit them onto the banks
of new flowers that adorn your light coat
rebirth is sent to unfurl its iridescent wings
bring the growth to bear the fruit
sparkle against my eyes in emerald hues
the summer months warm our core
open your pathways for exploration on high
see the shepherd and goat together
along with eagle soaring, we all mountaineers
as we step into your vast intensity
I feel your cool breath clear the fog from me
see quietude descend tumultuous mind
while the sun ripens your forests to Autumn
glorious cascades of bronze, I swoon
my footsteps echo the inevitable slide down
to retreat to safe hearth of warmth
dens of fortitude held fast
I look upon your newly capped snow face
and succumb to winters arrival
