      Eternal Promises

Wind chimes sing along
with  distant evening bells
to a crisp-bright ‘Harvest’
   moon rising
through falling-silver leaves
and wood smoke set to dance
by the cool Autumn evening
   breeze
in silent arabesques and
eulogies to all who have
passed this way before;
the mellow taste of change
and another waning year
being woven in the very
fabric of this magic night.
There is now only wistful
memory where once was
the fragrant promise of
youth and the Summer rose,
as barren, bleak and grey-sky
Winter shall surely come again
   to call.
Yet on we live in endless hope
   and undying trust,
that Beauty never slumbers long,
in the eternal promises of Spring.

You cover the seasons of renewal well, tying them up into one eternal package of wonder for the times of doubt of the human spirit

Bruce, you are a master word-weaver of sylvan magic and the romance of the human heart and soul.
