The Cyclical Year

Spring as the first rays fall on frozen ground
The dew glistening in the early morning sun
And below ground the green curl begins

As heat from the astronomers source
Penetrates the distant land
The budding fern begins her journey

Long fallen autumnal foliage
Settled over winter under snow
Degraded now, brings new life

Nurture the ground, replenishing
Restoring natures balance to the soil
For new life to spring as the seasons forge ahead

The summer showers to moisten and some
The thirsts of long sun-soaked days
Restoring, verdant and texture as fronds unfurl

To sway in autumnal breezes, as earth cools
Damp in the air denotes the coming fall
Mists lay on meadows as nights draw in

Finally the green fades, dried and darker
Winter wind flurries and rustles the tendrils
All visible growth now returning to earth

Yes as the winter rages, snow and ice
Below the soil the fern she waits, patiently
Until the sun once more penetrates the soil in spring.
