Seasons

The season swings around quite operatic
in the muted hues of autumn so dramatic
and baritone sounds of distant thunder
bring threats to rip our summer peace asunder.

So winter steps once more upon the stage
as Earth turns quite icily her orbital page
and thoughts turn to another promised year
when spring will paint the skies so bright and clear.
