~ Cycles ~
Summer's slowing ending
is slipping from sight
stealing our warmth
from dawn's early light
seasons change quickly
some gentle, some bold
Fall makes an entrance
with cough, runny nose
crayola leaves
red, yellow, brown
waltz in bright aprons
circle front lawn
birds flying South
melodies hushed
flowers asleep
'neath blankets of rust
squirrels kept busy
gathering up food
reflections of Winter
arriving too soon
trees at attention
awaiting first snow
shivering oaks
in nightie of gold
a deafening silence
hugging the night
suzie arrives
her garments pure white
roadways 'n sidewalks
show mirrored displays
mountains wear snowcaps
skiers at play
fireplace glowing
warm cocoa in hand
whispering pines
echo 'cross land
laughter of children
as springtime arrives
playgrounds 'n picnics
carousel rides
moods finding balance
within nature's song
cycles of life
each season reborn
