Songs of the Seasons Collaboration With Poet Joseph May

Spring has fragrant blossoms to reap
And as it awakens from slumber deep
Spring sings of blooms and life anew
And butterflies and skies of blue

Summer sings of sun and sand
Of ice cream cones and getting tanned
Of beautiful sunsets that delight
Of moonlit walks on sultry nights

It is in these moonlit walks I take
Crystalline steps with wishes I make
That started with spring’s new beginning
My heart just keeps on singing

Let there be peace, sunrise to sunset
In a butterfly’s flight to things unseen yet
Let sweet ice cream tasted in every flavor
Blend with memories at warm beaches to savor

For autumn’s song will soon take hold
With rustling leaves of red and gold
Soon the trees will have no melody to share
For autumn’s song will leave them bare

Until snow spreads like an angel’s wings
Lining tree branches with glistening white
Softly, my heart continues to sing
In the silence of snow falling into the night
