Life of the Seasons

As unique as fine crystal, soft shades, reflecting the many hues A plethora of color, rainbows appear in yellow, purple and blues Rain drops sparkle, like miniature diamonds, set upon the leaves The sun embraces an opening, through storm clouds to be seen The death of summer's life, births colors of orange, yellow and red Struggling to leave an indelible mark, on the mind before it is dead Nature gently brushes her paint, procuring such a magnificent array Embracing her beauty of existence, before relinquishing to its decay A white blanket covering earth, creates regression to Nature’s womb Patiently awaiting rebirth, she is placed temporarily in a lifeless tomb Beauty in itself, brings visions of cleanliness, before starting life anew Washing away omissions of past aggressions, from life she once knew Daffodils and crocuses, the bravest children, peer out to see if it is time To breathe life back into the earth, initiating her beauty once so sublime A struggle to overcome forces of resistance, to make her presence known She creates a physical path, for her spring children to prosper and clone The lesson is that Nature itself, not just a vision, but a lesson of the mind Transitions are an opportunity, to learn from her and not to be so blind Sight, of all the five senses, allows us to intimately relate to changes in life Assists in revealing secrets of nature, gives hope to prevent further strife
