seasons
which season
is for real
insofar as
it sees us
flourish
and where
to start in
entering the
cycle that
engulfs the
year of each
life spring
is the stirring
the start and
springboard of
renewal and
hope breaking
and budding
with growth
and fertility
a greening
and glimmer
of what is to
come yet the
summer which
follows burns
with colour
and excess
a balmy
blousy breezy
apogee of
promise over
topping into
over blown
bronzing and
billowing of
autumn fiery
fruitful and
fulsome in
its decay and
decline into
the sterile
stillness of
winter
die back
dormant
frigidity of
frost and frozen
filling and
freezing our
human living
with fear and
fortitude
relieved by
the release
of the spring
as we are
propelled again
from the
vicious to
victorious
virtuous
cycle
are we the
season or the
seasoned the
traveller or the
road through
which reality
passes
