A Year in a Page

  Swiftly strikes the chill of night,

  Crisp the air, heady with winter’s embrace.

  Clarity, unbidden yet unburdened

  As the world glitters with frosty grace.

  The turning of the seasons, measuring out time

  The world slowly turning as it dances about a star.

  Stolen story; please report.

  A metronome for life; counting out the hours

  An hourglass called life, sands of the seasons.

  Lo the sun, the longer days

  Spring is sprung and green does grow

  Lives are seeded and seeds are sown.

  Hope for the future; spring’s anthem.

  The turning of the seasons, measuring out time

  The world slowly turning as it dances about a star.

  A metronome for life; counting out the hours

  An hourglass called life, sands of the seasons.

  Sweltering heat, summertime ablaze.

  Cool air is precious, the world wrapped in the haze.

  Yet ‘tween fevered dreams the sky be seen

  And the fury of life aglow draws a smile.

  The turning of the seasons, measuring out time

  The world slowly turning as it dances about a star.

  A metronome for life; counting out the hours

  An hourglass called life, sands of the seasons.

  Autumn comes, the dying days,

  And the rainbow trees shed their clothes.

  The harvest time as twilight grows

  With laughter and joy mankind faces the setting sun
