Listen to poem:

Years End

Years End
David J Walker

The grievances of the season past
Are painted in numerous 
Hues of red and gold
With the last phases blending into the
Browns found on any cold ground 

It came too fast, they say
And never lasts as long as promised 
Before the ice and snow erase 
The final trace of color from the year

The next Spring
Then summer will bring
Its own new generation 
To be named before it passes
