Spring rushes in with the force of youth
Bright new beginning of nature’s truth
All things are possible, all things will be revealed
With a wave of spirited pride yet to wield
Something elemental, yet strange

Summer comes and burns all in its path
No mercy in its wanton wrath
Its power felt at fullest bloom
While the zenith is kindled to a higher noon
And ignores the slight, whispered change

Autumn falls amongst the weary kingdom
With a gradual, deepening act of wisdom
Seemingly unnoticed, but right before the eyes
Everything changed somehow before it was realized
And never again to be regained

Winter slows the hands of time
Clouds the heart, clouds the mind
But clears the most ancient memory
Igniting a profound epiphany,
That the one constant is change

Poetic Knight,

What a nice look at the changing of the seasons.  This was great!!  Lovely images . . . like watching a movie.

Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats
