No Guarantee

 No guarantee.

 

Split couplet format

 

The morning sun is bright today

It will not stay.

Autumn is drawing to its close.

Though I suppose.

Winter must come with ice and snow

Although I know.

Spring will return and bring the sun

When winters done.

Nature decrees when that will be

Then we will see.

The fertile soil show shoots of green.

All fresh and clean

Bright crocus and shy snowdrop know

Its time to show.

New tender leaves will dress the trees.

They’re sure to please.

The eyes of every passer by

None will deny.

They have grown sick of winter white

So they delight

To see a thousand shades of green.

Changing the scene.

From monochrome is most welcome

Now spring has come.

The colours we’ve been yearning for

Will show once more.

Banishing the monotony

Which used to be

A boring scene all black and white.

Now put to flight.

As natures shows what she can do.

To start anew.

Each season ruling for a while

 in its own style

 As the have done since time began

A simple plan

Devised by Nature long ago.

The seasons flow.

One to another seemingly

Quite easily.

As it has been so it will be.

Most probably

Although there is no guarantee

That things won’t change eventually.
