snow snow everywhere
a winter white wonderland
drawn by Gaia's hand
---
ssshhh listen closely
hear it rest within itself
snows white peacefulness
---
stoic trees stand still
inside winter's calm reprieve
squirrels come out to play
---
white lines trail the sky
snow blankets the earth beneath
winter's last snowfall
---
the remains of snow
melt slow under winter's sky
trickling down hope
---
clouds pass overhead
winter trees sway in cold winds
as warm sap rises
---
crocuses budding
hinting that spring is close by
waiting to free us
---
the butterfly's free
her cocoon finally shed
spring is truly here
---
cherry blossoms bloom
under spring's promising skies
hatchlings break their shells
---
blossoms are blooming
of the very cherry kind
beautiful they are
---
April's warm showers
bring May's enticing flowers
under spring's vast skies
---
summer floating by
on June clouds of evermore
dreams slip inside minds
---
field of sunflowers
endless under August skies
greet the rising sun
---
sky blue evermore
the eternal summer is there
where the heavens lie
---
breezes blow calm thoughts
as the smiling sunflowers
dance with marigolds
---
autumn's peaking in
through cracks in summers veneer
my eyes look westward
---
green leaves dangling
they shudder at fall's coming
under calm blue skies
---
birds fly overhead
through clouds that dance on blue skies
southbound they're headed
---
leaves dance on the wind
as sunlight traces their shapes
under autumn's sky
---
clouds gather over
sunflowers close their faces
fall skies will rain peace
---
blue skies have turned gray
autumn leaves cleave to branches
stillness surrounds us
---
lithe delicate leaves
bear breakage in autumn's breeze
how tender their lives
---
morning's taking root
hungry birds forage at dawn
leaves quietly fall
---
winter's creeping in
stealing away autumn's leaves
trees stand half naked
---
nature cocooning
returning into the earth
where all lost is found
---
