The Seasons of Love

autumn, hues of crimson and wine displayed in vivid glory
a season where one falls in love
the heart is tender and young, love is learning to crawl, motherly arms greet her with a smile, a kiss
she is shielded from the cold, she is growing under heavy leaves

winter, a bitter awakening
the heart is greeted with a blizzard
frozen by the weather
stuck in the middle of a wind of uncertainty
love buries herself beneath the ice and snow
she is hibernating, she will not be shaken
 
the sight of spring sows the seeds of rebirth
cultivated by the lover’s sun
and fed from the well of relentless rain
she is in full bloom
love is in the air, can you smell her?
love is spreading like a wildfire
who would dare tame her?

summer, lost in heat
love is slowing in her cycle
she is thirsty and she hungers
for the breeze of autumn
for the gentle lull of spring
but she is planting herself deeper
roots are secure, love is adapting to its season
love will fade with time
love may sleep away the winter
but love is no annual

she will return in the spring
