Seasons

 

 

Autumn is a fluttering

Of orange, red, and gold

Whispering through the air

Floating on the wind

What makes such beauty fall away

To be trampled on the ground,

Where children frolic

In musical crackling sound

Bringing smiles and laughter

To where imaginations unfold

 

Winter brings a forest

Of towering naked trees

Menacing branches leaves a chill and

Frightened screams throughout the night

What makes fearful eyes smile?

With delighted wonder

After a sleepless night

When morning dawns its song

Snowflakes glistening, holding tight

To trees of crystal ice on the frosty breeze

 

Spring burst forth with flowering seed,

A canvass filled with colorful song.

Yawning from a silent sleep,

To a new birth guaranteed.

What makes the seeds come to life?

Waking from their winter’s bed

Bursting in full bloom

From deep beneath the earth

Sun’s warm glow, a gentle rain

The wakeup call, you’ve slept too long

 

 

Summer is a time of joyful play

When sadness is no more

Golden rays shine down

Upon the grassy knoll

What makes everyone laugh and sing?

When the sun beats down all day

And sweat beads pop

Searching for the slightest breeze

A summer’s night on unbroken wing

As over the moon the fireflies soar

 

Seasons hot! Seasons cold!

But aren’t they perfect everyone?

So why do we wish for spring?

When winter winds

Blow through the air

Or when the summer sun blazes hot

Should we not open our eyes and see

The beauty each season brings us to enjoy

Allow our hearts to whisper,

Dear Lord, job well done

I thought it was good, and liked it. I enjoy hearing poems of nature. Job well!

I love all the seasons... We are lucky to live where we can experience all 4. Too bad winter is trying to nudge into Autumn's time... Ho the snow.... Nice!
