The 4 Seasons

The 4 Seasons

I Spring

Mother Nature reveals her dainty buds

Unfurls her petals and pointy shoots

A mass of pink, violet and more

A meadow of verdant scattered afar

Heaven’s a cloudless azure sky

The birds all call and sing and play

The animals gamble and frolic all day

A gentle breeze blows to and fro

The air is crisp and crystal clear

‘Tis a time of eternal youth and growth.

II Summer

And heaven’s eye doth shine on Earth

Its golden rays give light to us

The flowers are blooming, a riot of colour

A spectrum of multirainbow hues

Time seems to crawl at inching pace

But Midsummer’s Night flits by in haste

The symphony of summer echoes around

The nights are warm, and full of love

While the full moon shimmers high above

‘Tis a time of lasting friendship and play.

III Autumn

A splash of orange, red and gold

A heap of leaves raked mountain high

The smell of pumpkin and apple pie

Curls round our noses teasingly

The leaves dance round their naked trees

Fluttering, waltzing in the breeze

Fireworks resound in the indigo sky

Trick or treat, or the evil eye

Guy Fawkes smolders in the dying flames

‘Tis a time of warmth, comfort and hope.

IV Winter

Crystal white and intricate shapes

Raining down, the hail of snowflakes

A blanket of snow buries all underground

But the children run forth with shouts of joy

To build their seasonal winter toy

Their snowman, dressed in a woolen gown

Holly and greetings all round the town

Wafting aromas of gingerbread mingled with pine

Colourful presents and Yuletide cheer

‘Tis a time of forgiveness and for family

...

And the dawn has passed, farewell to this year

The last of this chapter, the end is near

4 seasons have passed while leaving behind

Tales of tragedy, serenity, harmony and strife

Immortalized forever in our book of life

And we await the beginning of a fresh new start

The 4 seasons; and the cycle begins again.
