Seasons change

With the clustered colours on a splattered canvas

Bright petals unfold an inner beauty

Dancing under the gentle rainfall

That awakens the life from the nurturing soil.

 

Grass adorns a healthy hue

Of fresh greenery moist with dew

Birds fly home from their winter retreat

With new songs of cheerful mornings.

 

The sun soon warms the Earths shivering skin

And casts all under its delightful charm.

Bronzed bodies soon come out from hiding

To sip cold beer and barbeque .

 

Salty beaches welcome bare little toes

To wriggle in beneath it’s cool surface

Muddy castles garnished with shells

Line the shore until waves wash them away.

 

Soon autumn leaves change their shades

To new breathtaking tones

They curl and glide down from the trees

Like elegant dancers in the gentle breeze.

 

Temperatures cool the blistered grass

And wind whispers natures lullaby

Drowsy petals fall softly to rest

As do critters heavy eyes.

 

Frost lines our windows and doors

A soft blanket of snow cushions the ground

Snowmen and angels sparkle with life

While bundled children scurry around.

 

Fire’s roar behind closed doors

Warming frozen fingers and toes

Kettles whistle on heated stoves

Sipping hot cocoa and tea.

 

The seasons change without fail

There’s not a thing we can do

Some like heat while others the cold

But we learn to make it through.

 

Birth, growth, aging and death

We go through life’s familiar stages

Without a choice of our own

Some dread growing up, some fear death

some don’t want to age or go through changes

 

But remember not the unpleasant parts

For each stage has beauty of its own

It would be a tragically lament shame

to miss a single moment of life’s wondrous game.

I REALLY loved to see the cycles of nature through your eyes and words. the last two stanzes tied it all up in connecting the seasons on earth as the seasons of life.
