Summer Winds

Summer winds
blow through the trees,
rustling the leaves
and twirling around.
Growing, changing
full colors bloom as
summer winds blow on.

Replaced by autumn gales
colored leaves twist
like a kaleidoscope-
twirling and dancing
falling to the ground.

Sweet life’s mystery-
shortness of life
sweet summer winds
gone in a flash.

Quick return to winter
and the long cold sleep
with breath that freezes
and turns to ice
waiting for the moment...

summer winds pass through
and bathe the land
with warm summer light;
a brief love affair
sweet summer air.
