Seasons

Winter creeps in, silently
  Frosts the very air we breathe
  Long cold nights and shortened day
  Viewed in icy shades of gray.

Whispered warmth on southern breeze
  Bright green jackets on the trees
  Flowers bud, the peepers sing
  All's renewed in warmth of Spring

Sunny days and sultry nights
  Skies of blue, all colors bright
  Lucky we, for just a while,
  to feel the heat of Summer’s smile

Autumn comes in colored dress
   Embraces earth in sweet caress
   Carries on her ancient rite
   Of changing colors in our sight.
