A Season’s Quest 
 

A sudden gasp, the leaves must hush

As the sun peeks behind the clouds to a winter’s blush

A lover’s heart melts at every memory she brings

Hear a nightingale as it whistles a cacophony of spring

An invincible summer sun stokes the embers of autumn’s flames

As the crescent moon rises, it shines on the ocean’s crest

The tide’s ebb and fall to the sand dunes’ manifest

Rings of an aged oak remember the years

The cries of laughter and hope, the sobs of bitter tears

Seasons mark the remembrances of our loved ones

Solemn promises of man may disappear

As a storm soaks the very fiber of our being

It cleanses our palettes signifying rebirth year after year, 
such is the evolution of time, oh precious time

In the seasons’ quest for perfection

Flawlessly it marches on and gives our paths direction.
