Seasons

The windowpane gone a deep sapphire

limned with a shimmering golden glow

cast by fingers of flame dancing playfully

on the tips of tall white candles,

.

A winters evening etched like frost lines

run wild across the new ice of a silent lake

huddled between fir cloaked hills crowned white

as the stillness of the patiently sleeping earth

settles gently over my mind as I watch you,

.

I see the newborn beauty of fresh fallen snow

in the smooth curves of your neck and shoulder,

All the intense glory of riotous fall foilage

shining in the firelit reflections in your eyes,

Summer’s warm sun and soft languid winds

live still in your laugh and gentle smile

while the irrepressible energy of life that is Spring

ripples out from you to wash this room clean,

.

You are of all seasons

of all things and all times,

A beauty inherent yet intricate,

as simple as a sunset

and as infinite as the starry sky,

I feel the meaning of forever at your touch

but I am not asking for the eternal tonight

just the evening in your arms,

midnight whispers beneath blankets

and the morning light in your eyes,

these things

that no measure of time

can ever take from me

.
