Seasons

Sweat glistened off my forehead

Tank top on

Shorts on

Sandals on

But why was I still burning

My hair ignited into flames

The light flickered in my eyes

I squinted 

Summer

The leaves rained on my face

Oranges, Yellows, Reds, Browns

It was a race

A race to see who could make it to the ground faster

I looked up

Up into the pouring leaves

I knew that as soon as they touched the ground

They would eventually rot and die

But did they know this

Fall

Dead 

Everything is dead

Where are the singing birds

The jumping squirrels

Even the trees were dead

I walked out

The coldness stung my face

My warmest clothes on

I could still feel the bitterness of the wind

Winter

I sat under the shady tree

Listened to the noises of nature

The buzzing of the bees

The chirping of the birds

The energized squirrels chased each other

Even the tiny ant seemed enlivened

Flowers bloomed

Nature was full of life

But why wasn't I

The rain came pouring down

Washed away the tears from my eyes

Spring
