The battle of the seasons

As the vibrant colors of the leaves once full of life start to fade
It is obvious that winters icy edge is about to cut the warmth of summer apart
Falling from the sky brittle leaves cover all the ground as far as can see
The birds fly south to escape winters cold frost bitten grip
A choke hold for all that remain
And un able to flee
The light of day shortened and nights darkness conquers the majority of time
Only the strong can survive.
Falling from the sky snow flakes
Begin to build
Snow banks now towering
Winters destiny fulfilled
The beautiful white landscape
Show no signs of life
Serenity and silence inhabits this space
Though soon to come the sweet tranquility will be destroyed by a raise in temperature
A shift in power now rain melts away the snow and old man winter is blinded by springs glow
All the ice now melting
And darkness pushed away
The birds fly back and chirp in the early mornings
Summer is now here
It conquered without warning
The cycle soon to repeat
A never ending war of love and hate
As each season claims defeat another takes its victorious seat
A never ending war of love and hate
Mother natures cycle soon to repeat
