Seasons Through Life

Seeing the News of Arctic  type weather conditions especially across  Europe as temperatures fall to dramatic levels of -39 deg C below Zero.  And seeing how ill equipped many find themselves in dealing with harsh weather which has led to many falling victim to the freezing conditions.  I sat looking through my own window this weekend looking at the snow fall which for us wasn’t half as bad as last years fall..

But I got to thinking about Mother Nature and her Seasons, and how we all of us have our own Seasons of Life and as the Evening drew in and the Mist rolled in with it.. these words were what came as I put Pen to Paper..

Blizzards of snow in Icy blasts

Falls from the sky like shards of glass

Biting your face and taking your breath

Temperatures plummet bringing Icy death

~

Gone is the beauty of softly formed flakes

Drifting and freezing on rivers and lakes

Branches that bend and twigs that do snap

All who go out pull on mittens and hat.

~

But what of the birds? What warmth so they find?

Huddled together in shrub tangled vines

And what about Fox held up in his den

And all our four-legged, what of them?

~

Do you give them a thought? Do you give them a crumb?

Have you spared a thought? For our Animal Kingdom

And what of the homeless who sleep on our streets

Have you thought of their plight as you sleep neath warm sheets?

~

Winter is harsh as it culls out the weak

And the mist rolls in closer even as I speak

Seasons are our barometers of life

Like the elements of Nature combining love and strife

~

There’s the Spring with new growth and birth

As we push on upward seeking self worth

Summer is the garden of beauty and play

As we experience the colour of life every day

~

Autumn are the years we mature and let go

Like the leaves from a tree we float with the flow

Winter can be a lonely place and cold

Holding Seasons memories as we grow old.

~

So whatever the weather of storms in Life

Hold onto your heart the Sun of all Light

Fill yourself up with gratitude and love

By loving each other, we ascend up above..

Please hold a thought for all who are affected by the elements of Mother Nature.. Whether it be through snow, Flood, Drought or Earth quakes… And lets not forget to send out our thoughts to the Animal Kingdom who too are suffering the affects not only of Nature.. But the affects of Man as we Pollute  and Poison their environments..
