Nature’s Elegance

I Am Tired Of Winter I Want To Fast Forward To Complaining About How Hot It Is...

 

As winter lingers 

I reflect on the garden 

Unburdened by snow 

 

As it looks 

In spring, following a rain shower 

As the sun simmers off water droplets 

 

As it looks 

In the summer heat

Bursting with colour 

 

As it looks 

In autumn’s fading light 

Its colours now muted 

 

As it looks 

In winter, buried in snow

Yet I know that the cycle of rebirth is near

I think spring has just arrived ( only just) , but even the longer daylight hours a wonderful pick-me-up .

Mother nature as always knows just what our needs are ...

Stella, thank you for the visit and sharing your thoughts. I tend to agree she always knows.

So glad it will soon be over! Not that I have anything personal against winter, it’s actually a wonderful season. But seasonal change has its beauty all its own as demonstrated by this excellent poem. My latest may have touched on a sub point of change too. Much enjoyed 🙏🏻🕊

RBK, thank you for your comment and visit. It's not over here yet, a few more weeks. It's been an exhausting harsh winter.

It’s been a punishing Summer here, the summers of my childhood were milder and much more fun! 🙏🏻🕊

Our summer last year was very strange, extreme heat, which is very usual for us. Huge thunderstorms with torrential rain and many tornados right up to mid-November. Climate change or fluke of nature call it what you want, but the planet is unwell.

Yes! a brand new feel-good Uplifter! as beautiful & hopeful as the Daisies you paint, Mary :))
puts me in mind of exploring the countryside as a kid, and coming upon a meadow of countless sunbathed daisies.

Thank you my friend, nature is a balm to our tired souls.
