Seasonal Awakenings

Leaves are twirling, gently falling
Winter’s approaching, softly calling
Closing slumbering Summer’s door
‘Til Spring awakens her once more

What lies behind us and lies before us are small matters compaired to what lies within us.

Who would have thought so much could be said with so few words? I have just a few words as well...SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!

A lovely image-laden piece.

I love the simplicity and the verses, the blending of all four seasons as you have described them, Ruth.

over the rain-green grass,
and the sun drips honey.""

I would expect no less from such a well-seasoned poet
