Through Seasons

 

Through seasons we watch the Earth change

Past time and home on the open range

Four forces create a cycle of one

One order, no known start, they just come

Two opposites, two quite alike

Blending turmoil from day into night

Summer’s heat harvests heavenly Earth

Autumn’s fall follows fire into dirt

Winter’s darkness dampens desolate silence

Spring’s emotion evokes eternal conscience

The sun over days of warmth and glee

The leaves so colorful lie decoratively

The snow so white blankets trees and land alike

The love of life persuades for new life

Our hearts find tradition through seasons

Holidays, memories, and faith are just some of the reasons

Our minds discover time and nature through seasons

Learning the cycle of the land gave us a reason

You can feel the wind carrying the spirit of the season

I am a child of my Mother Earth

Forever a love and respect for Her

For when I am ninety

And I close my eyes to feel Her soul

Euphoria explodes inside me

A gift of life for every person, half or whole
