Your Seasons

Your Seasons

What is it to be?
Soft, tender shoots of curious tips of green,
carefully testing the warmth of the first rays
of the returning sun?

Blossoms opening with a sigh of relief
finally throwing off the restraints
of supporting mother bonds,
breathing out delicate aromas
from pristine white garments?
The joy of first glimpses of freedom?

Or colourful golden and red brocades
wrapping weary bones into a last blaze of grandeur
before the brown blanket of contentment
covers tired limbs into the cosy curl
of wintersleep?
