Seasons

Winter
Snow
consumes
heart and land
mind drinks sun's rays
dreaming of summer's breath upon the skin
praying for thaw
drinking tea
heating
body.

Spring
Earth
explodes
in colors
reviving soul
nature stirs its enchantment's vibrant hues
hope is reborn
preparing
feasts of
light.

Summer
Heat
swelters
ambitions,
desires strip nude
endless sunshine makes one feel immortal
tan skin trophies
are one's pride
sweating
smiles


Fall
Pulse
retires
from frenzy
thinking calmer
welcoming slower races to sundowns
savoring festive
harvest times
and their
spells.
