The Fifth Season

Always
A cold
Wet
Shift

Spring rains to summer
Sweat to fall
Rain to sleet
Snow to spring

Water
Sustenance
An element
But also time

A marker
Nature’s clock

Mine to know
That here comes change

Mist
Hail
Downpours 
And drizzles 
Giving me a chance to brace

Really nice interpretation of the contest theme through the image of water and the way weather transitions us from one season to the next like a fifth season. Best wishes for the contest if this is for the contest. All the best. Blessings! And, I will leave you with the Cunningham motto - Over Fork Over.
