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 gone 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

So much truth in this one, Jer.
I find something to love and enjoy in each season,
especially now, each day offers me a treasure
..even when I feel like something
the cat drug down the street.
LOL, thanks for the seasoned smile.

On first reading, the truths you captured so beautifully had my full attention. It took a second read to appreciate the rhyme and how your format enhances the content... superb work! *S*
