Life of the Seasons
As unique as fine crystal, soft shades, reflecting the many hues
A plethora of color, rainbows appear in yellow, purple and blues
Rain drops sparkle, like miniature diamonds, set upon the leaves
The sun embraces an opening, through storm clouds to be seen
The death of summer's life, births colors of orange, yellow and red
Struggling to leave an indelible mark, on the mind before it is dead
Nature gently brushes her paint, procuring such a magnificent array
Embracing her beauty of existence, before relinquishing to its decay
A white blanket covering earth, creates regression to Nature’s womb
Patiently awaiting rebirth, she is placed temporarily in a lifeless tomb
Beauty in itself, brings visions of cleanliness, before starting life anew
Washing away omissions of past aggressions, from life she once knew
Daffodils and crocuses, the bravest children, peer out to see if it is time
To breathe life back into the earth, initiating her beauty once so sublime
A struggle to overcome forces of resistance, to make her presence known
She creates a physical path, for her spring children to prosper and clone
The lesson is that Nature itself, not just a vision, but a lesson of the mind
Transitions are an opportunity, to learn from her and not to be so blind
Sight, of all the five senses, allows us to intimately relate to changes in life
Assists in revealing secrets of nature, gives hope to prevent further strife
