warm winter

The summer has passed,

autumn's brilliance has faded

Some don't see it as part of the cycle

and have become grim and jaded



They want nothing to do with the light snow

floating from the sky all day

Because they're all in such a hurry

they have no time to play



But winter is part of the cycle

The trees, with their freezing sap

are just a sign that it's nature's turn

to take a well-deserved nap



The pattern will continue,

the colors will rise again.

The seasons never stop changing,

in the cycle that never ends.
