The like of February falls tumbling in an August toss and turn
In the peace of silent winter sleep, the fire inside bathes ceaseless burn
Fumbling autumn airs call mind to stir, setting coals alight, in judicious cure
Awaken summer nights; awaken to these fair delights, still damp in spring’s discreet allure

Falls softly snow on petals pink, the frosting cool a June bug wink
Subzero rules apply no pain, this silence sane that melts by blink
Feet set to ground move gravity without a sound in temperate round
Unsure the wail, a cobalt wind or nightingale, in jungle heat the beat unwound

And sweeter comes the sunrise now, to overlook an icy bow and low bent song
That comfort clad admires in plaid and plenty colored pick, a daisy droop in lemon long
Be still, another warming climb is just a state of mind lost in the mid of night
And all that matters still the snows have paused and passed along in dawning light

A few degrees of hemisphere, the shift of time might draw the tear of moments now becoming clear
And far too soon to bloom…yet waken spring, around the warming scent and sound that called me here

Of course, knowing you....I think...

The freezer will have a stash of snowballs
for "special occasions"....  Imagine that!

Not you,  Ms. Meek and Mild....Milk Toast
and all that stuff...yeah, right.

You paint seasons well dear lady,  this is
no exception.

I'm so glad I found this!  You've grabbed my love for science and given it a spin! I could list all the wonderful lines, but I'm afraid I'd be copying your entire poem! another to the library!  Thanks.
