One love whose soul burns fiery hot, <br />Burdened by the mystical we call life, <br />Yet thy love feels like a warm summer day; <br />Drifting wind whispering through our branches, <br />So slim, so tall; <br /> <br />Echoing through thy birds that nest their home, <br />Courtesy as thy birds share with nature; <br />Thy love, oh sweet generous love, <br />Praised to the chirping; such a harmonic tune; <br />Ringing loudly throughout thy leaves, <br />Tumbling down thy sap; <br />So sticky, so sweet; <br /> <br />Thy leaves soon change color, <br />So vividly under the night sky; <br />Red, orange, yellow, and green, <br />Falling to the earth in a beautiful rain, <br />Sweeping back and forth – forward and back, <br />In a constant motion; so beautiful; <br />As it burrows its new home onto Earth’s ground, <br />Shedding its way, lusciously covering thy Earth; <br />Mixed in a variation of colors, <br />That changes thy face; <br />So bare, so bold; <br /> <br />Long winter seasons bring thy cold breeze, <br />As thy branches are thickened with summer warmth, <br />Tackling the next four months fearlessly; <br />Bravery trickles as the soft white snow reaches Earth, <br />Thy roots toughen, blanketed by the freezing snow, <br />Patiently awaiting for winter to bypass; <br />As thy branches and thy hearts grow larger, <br />Gradually to watch the cold snow soak into the ground, <br />Thy sun reaching its highest peak each morning, <br />To bring thy Spring back as our branches begin to stretch; <br />Outward the new beginning, a beginning of life, <br />Miraculously, yet divine; <br />Oh thy heart – sweet calling you may be, <br /> So warm, so majestic; <br /> <br />We wait towards our new seasons, <br />To bring thy branches out for their fullest potential, <br />To begin our meaning to the center of life.<br /><br />Joshua Hillard<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/seasonal-life/
