Seasonal Symphony

Seasonal Symphony

The snow falls with a gentle sigh.
Its music is a soft goodbye
whispered on a scale descending.
Nature's song is never ending.

The tempo picks up in rebirth
with the blossoming of the earth
warmed by the sun, now ascending.
Nature's song is never ending.

In concordance, a joyous flow,
life continues, in crescendo,
though fallow times are impending.
Nature's song is never ending.

Spiraling down, the notes cascade
like fading echoes o'er the glade,
gently, toward a final rending.
Nature's song is never ending.

In harmony, the different parts
continue, and as each one starts,
others fade in quiet blending.
Nature's song is never ending.



Notes
A entry for "Pond Poetry"  [ASR]
Prompt: "Winter dies into the spring, to be born again in the autumn." ~ Marche Blumenberg ~

Form: A Kyrielle is a French form of rhyming poetry written in quatrains (a stanza consisting of 4 lines), and each quatrain contains a repeating line or phrase as a refrain (usually appearing as the last line of each stanza). Each line within the poem consists of only eight syllables. There is no limit to the amount of stanzas a Kyrielle may have, but three is considered the accepted minimum. The rhyme pattern is completely up to the poet.
