METAMORPHOSIS OF A SEASON LAID TO REST
AUTUMN LEAVES CONSIGNED TO LAY OR DIE UPON
EARTH'S MUDDY MOUND TO DECAY BY NATURAL BEHEST
WINTER STAKES ITS CLAIM ON ALL THAT WAS SUMMER'S SONG
NOW SHRIVELLED AND GNARLED
YET HIBERNATION SETS IN STORE THE RINGING OF A NATURAL GONG
MARKING A RENEWED BLOSSOMING BURGEONING SPRING
NATURES SEEDS SCATTERED IN RANDOM ARRAY UNFURL
BIRDS CHIRP AND MERRILY SING
TO PRAISE AND SAVOUR THE NEW SEASONS TURNING
INCESSANTLY YEAR ON YEAR HARVESTS YEARNING
ALL LIFE MIRACULOUSLY THRIVES BY FORCES UNSEEN
YIELDED FROM UNIVERSE'S ENERGY GLEENED
PLANET AND HUMANKIND HAS ALL THEY COULD
IN A MYRIAD OF GALAXIES EVER DREAM
