Seasons of Life and Death

Under the care of sun and rain My leaves have unfurled My buds have burst forth My own will has been done This was my beginning Through the seasons Spring brought me to life Summer grew me to new heights The fall must come sometime The frost will encase my barbs And I will return to meditation Waiting patiently for my rebirth For your light to peek through clouds Your moon to hold me within night When spring returns... I will dance in the wind A never ending flower
