All the calendars measure the months of the seasons; <br />None of them painting the same scenario for all. <br />Still all know the reasons for the different seasons. <br /> <br />The sea goes its own way being a world all its own. <br />The climatic law of the land is washed away. <br />Those that sail the oceans learn of different seasons. <br /> <br />Then there’s the world of fine food not without its seasons. <br />Every chef knows how to season the food he cooks <br />Whether it be for health or even the taste of the season. <br /> <br />Age is not content to contemplate just four seasons. <br />With love there are many seasons of the heart to explore. <br />I for one know some but, by far, not all its seasons. <br /> <br />We are not beyond the influence of outer space. <br />Not only the oceans are subject to the moon’s pull. <br />It would do us well to understand the moon’s seasons. <br /> <br />Sharing is a must to accompany our reasons <br />If we truly intend to know all of heart’s seasons. <br />No one, even I, knows all of heart’s many seasons. <br /> <br /> - April 2,2009<br /><br />Ben Gieske<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/seasons-of-the-heart-ghazal/
