Seasons

Yawning, stretching, awake

Spring brings life renewed, reborn

From Winter's remains


Taking the baton

Summer promises sunshine

But gives only rain


Fallen leaves crunch as

The ageing sign of time passed

Is walked on unseen


Nature's grip loosens

As Time casts frozen shadows

And the year's end comes

With the seasons, an entire lifetime can is captured in a single year

With the seasons, an entire lifetime can is captured in a single year. From birth to death, the seasons reflect our own lives, except they don't take decades to get around to it.

My favourite season is Autumn - or Fall if you're from the US. A walk in the path with the kids and the dogs, with fresh fallen leaves crunching underfoot, can be magical. What's your favourite season and why?
