Leaves fall for her autumn

She fell from the heavens

As spring crept through winters defiant presence

To bring forth a landscape of fire

 

Spring came

She crashed down to Gaia

Soon the trees will beckon her

 

As summer approached

She began to wake

Her eyes focused

She became aware

 

Her legs became strong upon a midsummer evening

Her body became one with Mother Nature

Her soul filled with rage

She set out to bring an end to summer

 

Her name was Lilith

The time has come for her bittersweet redemption

And with it came the turning of the season

Trees became weak and their grip loosened

 

Now the leaves will turn to red

And soon summer shall be dead

i'm not sure that Gaea is the best version of Mother Earth that you could use if you're not going to use any other mythology reference? it just seems oddly placed.

Sad to see summer fade away. I like the way you use Gaia to make your point clear. Strong description made the poem a pleasure to read. Thank you for a excellent poem.
