A deep, quiet forest stunned by diversity;
an alpine meadow dancing in paintbrushes;
eagles soaring in stark blue skies of Summer;
above jagged black peaks piercing fog;
a walk along a thundering shore in December;
or skipping gentle waves kissing sand in Spring:
gulls cry in stereo unseen in shimmering waves
as the sun beats down upon sand dunes...
Clouds roll ominously across the sky
and thunder rumbles far away in the hills
and I yearn to understand what it all means
for if ever I do, that shall define who I am –
forever – The seasons pass, chase each other
and each one puts its impression on my face.

Snow drifts over an icy gray street;
fallen leaves dance on the Autumn wind;
a morning glory closes itself to the sun:
a sunflower turns slowly in my mind...

I move the clock of time backward
remembering the feeling you gave me
the very first time I looked into your eyes:
their blue light rivalling both sky and sea
and how easy it was to swim in them!
Such love I felt for you then;
such love I may have shown you
had you chosen to stay the hand of destiny.
The Universe called you back
and my dream ended as suddenly
as it started.

And yet... how much I love you still!
I shall chase after you
when this life releases me in turn:
I swear I shall find you again.

Yo WindWalker11,

This poem is well thought out, and works rather well.
