People say that life is short
12 months
52 weeks
365 days
That’s a year
But a year of what?
You can live but not be living
You can fly but still touch the ground
You can scream but not make any sound
So this year, is it really a year?
If I’m sitting on the ground
Crying like the rain as I walk away from you
But then again
Who are you?
I don’t know
So why am I crying?
I don’t know you
I don’t lo...
Whispers of spring breathe life anew,
Buds unfurling, a vibrant hue.
Cherry blossoms dance, a soft pink cascade,
Nature's canvas, in floral hues arrayed.
A symphony of scents fills the air, so sweet,
As winter's slumber retreats in defeat.
—————
Beneath the sun's golden, gleaming gaze,
Fields of gold sway in a heatwave's haze.
Children's laughter mingles with ocean tides,
In the lush abundance, li...
On the days nearing May Eve,
Marigolds were strewn on window ledges.
Rowan branches placed above doors,
And byre spread on houses edges.
Milk was left out for the fairies
As an offering of sorts,
So they wouldn’t steal their children
Or mess with them for sport.
And on the peak of the spring,
Whilst the fairies reveled ‘round,
You could almost hear their music,
As an otherworldly sound.

Winter
Snow sparkles
Snowflakes fall
The crisp breeze shaking
The snow-crested trees
Spring
Flowers bloom
Grass grows
The green leaves swaying
With the tall trees
Summer
Sun’s warmth
No clouds in sight
Hot as heck
Staying inside
Fall
Red leaves
Coat the sidewalk
With each leaf that falls
I make a wish
And maybe
It will come true
Each season is beautiful in its own way
Just like people
The di...
Start of summer, you were mine,
Laid in grass with hands intwined.
Kisses stolen in the night,
Then came solemn long goodbyes.
Start of fall, your were gone,
Wrote to you my favorite song.
Felt the chords and something wrong.
Wishing you could sing along.
Start of winter, long embrace.
Loved me bare and kissed my face.
Fought and played an endless chase.
No goodbyes in partings grace.

Snow is great when you are small
You celebrate the end of fall
For powdered lawns and icy roads
That blessed news that school is closed
Don your hat and knitted gloves
That puffy coat your mother loves
To adventure in the wonderland
Of flakes of white like frozen sand
Snow angels and tight-packed walls
Make a man from rolled-up balls
Catch a snowflake on your tongue
Forgetting that your t...
In my backyard
I have a tree
It watches the seasons
Like you watch tv
The same four episodes
Over and over
As winter frost parts
For the new spring clover
Summer heat calms
For the windy fall
Year after year
It watches them all
Glued to the ground
Stuck in one place
It cannot even
Turn its own face
But maybe the tree
Looks at landscape changing
A forest of friends
Turns to vast field...
The seasons change, as time moves on,
Each one bringing a different dawn.
From the warmth of spring's gentle embrace,
To the vibrant colors of autumn's grace.
Spring arrives with blossoms and blooms,
A symbol of hope, dispelling gloom.
New life emerges, as nature awakes,
Bringing promises that it never forsakes.
Summer follows, with skies so bright,
Days filled with warmth and endless light.
