Every life a journey
Every soul a wanderer
each met by Autumn
beautifully adorned
rich shades of red and gold
her dancing leaves an invitation
impossible to ignore
to join in the dance
your hand she deceptively takes
and your dreams she stole
her leaves soon to drift away
on Winter's cold winds
leaving you, entranced,
in the cold darkness of Winter.

Winter, too, has her charm
though effort it may take to see
the beauty of cold harsh reality
Autumn stole your hope,
while Winter gave you rains
the tears you could not cry
in farewell of Autumn's glory
only desolation left
cold, bleak and dark,
skeletons standing starkly
cloaked in soft snow
braving the icey winds
of hopelessness and despair
fragile delicate beauty.

Your heart, empty in your frozen soul
a seed, dormant in the frozen earth
until Spring found you
her gentle embrace, reaching out
with warm fingers of light
a word, a smile
liquid birdsong
to stir new life into your heart
a new dream is born
a new shoot emerging
leaves to dance in the sun
new fern fronds to unfurl
bring new dreams of hope
in the beauty of life itself.
