Seasons of Life

Springtime filled with baby's breath,
stretching forth, rising tall.
Unconfined from east to west,
breaking free from every fall.

Summer's heat can't be denied;
playful and unencumbered.
Passion swells as ocean tide;
basking tho days be numbered.

Fall; a reaping of seeds well sown;
settled in comfort earned.
True awakening; life's on loan.
So radiently the leaves have turned.

Winter's rest, a life completed;
asleep within the earth;
silently waiting to be repeated
and spring forth a new birth.
