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

Autumn is probably my favorite for the beauty of the colors but I love the warmth of summer, the greens of spring and even the winter white that makes everything so pristine and new.
