Seasons Of Man

At our birth
As ideas churn
Eager to feed our minds
We learn

Growing at such a speed
It quickly slips us by
It sets the hourglass
Of what’s, yet to find

Sweet honeysuckle’s
Bloom
Spring’s beginning steps
We consume

Jumping for joy
As we spread our wings
Grabbing new experiences
Always reaching for the dream

Sunflowers forever
Dancing in our eyes
Not a care in the world
Summer fuels our time

Gracefully we mature
Our patterns now engraved
All the colors of the world
Sculptures what we play

The fullness of life
Here is where we understand
Fall into wonders
We savor in our hands

As we drift
Awaken in the golden age
Murphy’s Law
Now leads the game

Our pace slows
Snow plows our head
Crystal curtains drape
Our frozen threads

As our hearts prepare
For hibernation’s flight
We’ll snuggle by the fire
In winters glowing light
