Ode to Nature
Fall's whispers creep into my ears
As mango skinned leaves color the air
Red, Orange, and rarely green
Paints the canvas of fall's quiet scene
With winds so fierce and trees so dead
Fall awakens winter from its jaded bed
Winter rises and darkens the sky
Stars seem to glow and clouds begin to cry
Tears of ice that make the black roads glisten
Tongues of the children and snowflakes are kissing
As winter soothes its long endured storm
Spring once again is born
Spring cures winter's deadly curse
Revives and brings hope back to Mother Earth
Rejuvenated and refreshing is spring's baby's breath
Brings back to life, flowers touched by the kiss of death
A rainbow of colors that spills from April showers
Invites Summer to the world for it to empower
Summer hums romance to giggling girls
Creates joyous times for a changing world
Sings heat waves that lulls Spring to sleep
Hushes cries of fall's long awaited weep
Summer quietly falls behind the scenes
And allows Fall to paint its quiet serene scene
