Winds of Change
Fall brings mosaic colors of falling leaves,
soon after hues dissipate to barren trees.
Storms churn clouds in mighty thunder,
thrashing rains fall, sun quietly surrenders.
Softer breeze flows as horizon says hello,
awaiting hiding sun to peek with a rainbow.
Stars roam to brighten the Milky Way soon,
moon transforms from gibbous to full moon.
Winter pleases revelers with gusting snow,
mountain-peaks shine with enchanting glow.
Spring paints rising meadows pleasantly green,
nature hosts panoramic vistas of lively scenes.
College kids flock to beaches on spring break,
exploring moments of love, joy, and heartbreak.
Celebrating graduations and wedding season,
a new chapter on impending life gets written.
Joy of summer wraps in rampant humid heat,
glimpses of cool breeze intermittently greet.
Random changes speak of unpleasant themes,
foretelling broken lives and shattered dreams.
Earth rotates, sun rises, night accepts defeat,
perseverance harbinger of awesome new beat.
Winds of hope cheerful new day will bring,
singing birds foretell arrival of another spring.
