Seasons

The trees in its diversity of green

give us shade and air to breath,

home for birds and insects,

and they shine in the rays of the summer sun.

Watching the trees as their leaves let go

of the green dress of summer

while they adjust and inhale

the golden colors of autumn.

Slowly they wait for the soft kisses

of the falling snow,

to embrace them with a white blanket

for protection through the cold winter's night.

Sleeping silently under their white coat

until the warmth of spring

with nourishing gentle rain

once again will call for life to sprout.
