Mankind hurtles toward unknown
Nature’s seasons relay what’s known
Autumn prepares for transition
Holding off winter’s ambition
Both man and nature look ahead
Unearthing their most common thread
At times, life needs relaxing pause
Forsaking bright lights and applause
Terrain changes to snowy scene
Covering life white, without green
Man growls at cold, numbing weather
Spotting fireplace, warm together
Winter’s snowfall hiding its gems
Waiting for newest, greenest stems
Spring awakens frozen landscape
Encouraging life’s next escape
Man and nature again feel free
Twinkling eyes find each budding tree
Creator’s Spirit, love transcends
Seasons eternal, never end
