Life, Trees and Seasons

Life is a tree.
In the Spring
A seed deep within
Awaiting the first glimpse
Of the outside world.
 
On to Summer.
The growth is swift
Taking only years
In a lapse of forever.
 
Begins the Fall
In turn the rise
This is the learning
Wisdom collects
In many fiery rings.
 
At the end
The Winter's cold
Reaches out of the dark
Drawing near the distant past
Ending all further progress.
 
In the passing seasons
The tree has left many seeds
To begin and continue life.
