The heart in Spring feels the gentle breeze
The touch of your hand
     The smile of your face, so eager to please.
Your heart warms my heart, and puts me at ease.

The heart in Summer feels the heat
of passion's caress
The touch of a lover
     The face of pleasure, this feeling the best.
Your heart joins my heart, and puts me at rest.

The heart in Fall feels the chill of dying love
The touch pulled away
     The frown of disgust, the death of the dove
Your heart leaves my heart, and leaves me unloved.

The heart in Winter feels nothing at all
Frozen in ice, untouched
     The cry of pain shows, not hearing love's call
Until the angel comes. . . to break down that wall.


 That which gives light must endure burning
--Victor Frankl

Sven, You've outdone yourself this time buddy!!  Seasons and cycles intertwined yet different.  Simply beautiful    

 What the inner voice says will NOT disappoint the hoping soul.

I love this one, it is full of poetic beauty

 Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.

Wonderful! I am speechless by such powerful and beautiful words.    I especially connected with the last stanza.
