Beyond Seasons
Winter tones
turn husk brown
and pale straw
from vivid green
deep shades
that paint landscapes
of hills, vales
running creeks-
woody patches
and lush scrub country
to withering wasteground
appearing barren
and sparse
as summer whispers
first words
and waves away
and old season gone.
Birds' calls
are long
and young
are growing free
above the tree....
filling gaps
with sound and song
within the laboured nest.
Summer comes
and hope
is all the best
that future days
shall rest
in love and peace
that's handed on
from sun to sun.
Each day
and evening star....
shall guide us
year by year
and far....
beyond the earth
its solar realm
and crystal sphere.
