The Sounds of the Seasons

The clamor heard 
In the urgently raucous awakening of Spring
Slowly dies down
During the lethargic sibilance of Summer,
But quickly revives
With the crunchy tanginess of Fall,
Only to be subdued again
By the crackling brittleness of Winter.

Each season has its own beauty. I enjoy the comfort of being that is sensed in this poem.
