Seasons In Three Stages
        by: Brian Keith Compton  (bkcompton@Writing.Com)
(Lighting Up The Dark)

Let me into the arms
as warm as sunshine.
Fill my body with life,
spreading, consuming
limb to weary limb,
lighting up the dark;
my vacant soul.

(Summer Love)

Shower these flowers
that could bloom
amid the weedy field.

Separate me from the mesh,
a dying sea.
Let my tongue
taste your radiance.

A drink divine;
my mouth, watered,
yearns for so much more,
at the sight of your eyes
and nourishing lips.

(Wait For Snow)

Tender droplets of dew
lick the *Leaf* Autumn leaves, *Leaf2*
         scattered upon my *Leaf*lawn.           *Leaf3*
          *Leaf4*

A bare tree,
swiped of its fruit,
can bear no more,
until another season.

It's time.
My heart dormant,
I cast my eyes
through the patient window
and wait for snow. *Snow3*  *Snow2*
         *Snow1*
