She

Autumn is gold

When the leaves begin their dance

She dances too

Her soul feels the cold

 and time passes by

The darkness blankets the world

Green is gone

The sun whispers goodbye

Her warmth hides away

She has a hopeful heart

Sun will return one day

When frost kisses the ground

She withers away

but she has joy in her eyes

In her heart she will wait for it

Patiently and lovingly

She'll wait for the arrival of May

When she arrives to see him

The world will come alive

Green will prevail

Trees will blossom

Flowers will  bloom

Their mouths will curl to a grin

Their hearts will know no doom

The world will be reborn

For the sun never dies

and she will survive

She always survives

A seasonal inspiration. I will be extra careful raking this year ( : O )

I love that last stanza... it ties it all together perfectly! I love seasonal writes and the way creativity shines through :)

By the way, I love the music that you find to pair with your words and thoughts. "Hozier," huh? Here's me heading to YouTube to listen to more. Thank you for that! take care...dan

I believe that "She" is not a person but the seasonal warmth that comes with spring and summer. "She" is warm but "He" is the cold reality of frost and wintry scenery flecked with snow. It is a plaintive 'goodbye' followed by a longing 'see you soon!' Very clever idea well written, Kathryn. take care...dan

Beautiful and powerful thoughts for the seasons.
"The world will be reborn
For the sun never dies
and she will survive
She always survives "
A very good ending for a excellent poem.

A very hopeful write
i was told once i was the only person who is capable of laughing through tears
and i dont know how i do it
It is beautiful to read of a strong soul
that refuses to hate
and refuses to go dark
to be full of light and love
whether she is mixed in with the world or alone
she glows
gorgeous

I loved this poem! It had tremendous imagery in it. I loved the reference to the seasons as well. Great job with this one :) Can't wait to see what you come out with next.

Beautiful imagery of the seasons' flow..!
The seasons are like vibrant attires of the nature which she wears once in a year and every time she does, she believes in it and loves it like her kin!
I actually imagined a mystical, exotic beauty dancing around in the woods as the leaves turn from green to yellow, fall and become green again!
Great write!
