Nostalgia

Nostalgia Seasons change in the rhythmic flow of life - Winter follows summer – each formed by love Tadpoles to frogs – caterpillars - butterflies All days, each festival, reflect God above. Winter follows summer – each formed by love The old swing recalls voices through the years All days, each festival, reflects God above The melody of living things sings through fear. The old swing recalls voices through the years Tadpoles to frogs – caterpillars - butterflies - The melody of living things sings through fear Seasons change in the rhythmic flow of life. Picture #1 Based on Genesis 1:4 7/7/20

The swing itself oscillates with rhythms that echo the seasons you aptly describe. God's creation of tadpoles and caterpillars display the mystery of birth and rebirth, summer and winter the rhythm of activity and rest, like lungs breathing in and out. "The melody of living things sings". Marvelous pantoum, Sam. Best wishes for a win ~ John

Per usual, my friend, you have seen the rhythm of the words that carry the theme - the rhyme of the seasons that swing like a swing! Thank you for your wishes. I love seeing things through your eyes! Blessings!
