What is far and what is nigh
Seen not only with the eye
Once a sky so bright and blue
Now takes on a different hue
Always changing from the past
Feel a pattern meant to last
Life and death are partners still
Fortune fair and fortune ill
All is good and all is bad
Come what may of wishes had
Shifting always day to night
‘Round the sun’s celestial flight
Humble but with greatness yet
Many different needs are met
Buds and blades burst from the earth
Celebrating wondrous birth
Stretching, reaching, strong and sure
As with grace all does mature
Lush and thriving in the sun
One more phase is nearly done
Vibrant green now turns to red
Turning only to be shed
See the world so stark and brown
‘Till the flakes of cold come down
Falling everywhere in sight
Covering the world in white
Bathed in light so cold and clean
Lying silent as a dream
Ready now to continue
Warming, waking life anew.
