Seasons

Seasons

Plants pushing out their last spurts of growth and flowers
Beginning to slowly recognize the coolness of the approaching season
Summer slowly giving way 
The temperature gradually dropping

 Fall begins to reign and flourish
Painting tree leaves in a kaleidoscope of color
Triggering countless acorn showers
Awakening the instinct of squirrels and forest creatures
To begin storing food or searching for shelter
For hibernation or sleep

Tree leaves rapidly dropping leaving bare tree branches
As the temperature rapidly plummets 
Heralding the start of Winter 
Strong bitter cold wind fiercely blowing
Snow storms blanketing the land in crisp white
Starkly contrasting against the gray sky


Causing a turning inward for many months
Daydreaming of the warmth, blue sky, and new growth 
Of the upcoming Spring
