The Seasons of Life Continue
Swirling leaves in air, encrusted in snow,
Gardens are frozen, as howling winds blow.
Autumn’s delight, a fragmented past,
Golden hues dissipate, into a season of last.
Summer’s light, now brings early dark,
Gone are the lyrics of the passing lark.
Now bundled up, some mittens lost,
No longer is green, a fade to frost.

Woah, Bow to the poet!!!…
Really a good one here .Swirling leaves in air, encrusted in snow…
I love the metaphors related to fall and the way you linked it to past and time itself.
My favorite verses here are:
“Autumn’s delight, a fragmented past /Golden hues dissipate, into a season of last.
Gone are the lyrics of the passing lark/… No longer is green, a fade to frost”.
It has been a pleasure to come acroos this meaningful poem. TY & Cheers xx;
