Seasons

The earth awakens - a splendour of rain
Laughing over a flowering plain,
Birds and bees cha-cha with flair,
As sweet perfumes waft the air,

Endless skies, azure and sublime,
Ephemeral nights and glittering stars,
Sun and moon habanera to rhyme
Of vibrant poetry in summer time

Hues of red, orange, and gold,
Carpet the earth in a mellow song,
Winds and leaf waltz along,
Content with memories new and old

Earth is draped in a blanket of white
The rivers and lakes a silver ice,
As winds of snow pirouette in delight,
A handsome quiet fills the night

On its path the cycle will roll,
Seasons come and seasons go
Some are dark and full of woe,
Some are happy and fill your soul

Be it bubbly spring or sprightly summer,
Autumn colour or winter wonder
Let the seasons warm your heart,
And paint your life - a magical art.
