Summer falls away with the autumn leaves

                        An icy frost whispers the coming of winter

                        Birds fly south

                        Stealing the warmth away with them

                        The cold frost stings finger-tips

                        As the air becomes dagger sharp

                        And yet this harsh crisp world

                        Can transform with the lightest of snowfall

                        The snow falls, and winter is done

                        Spring comes out with the sun

                        Blossoming out from under the snow

                        Urging the flowers to do the same

                        Up from where winter had held them captive

                        Spring melts under the heat of June

                        While trying to hold it back

                        The sweltering sun bursts in

                        And summer rains again

                        Only to soon fall away with the leaves
