colours

~~Let the colours run
Reds, yellows, green and gold
Telling stories of the seasons
Of nature young and old

Summer vivid and bright
A riot of sense and shade
Leaves laughing on the trees
A mesmerising cascade

Autumn is transition
Preparing for rebirth
Reds, khakis, bronze and browns
Before fading to the earth

Winter stark and white
Skeletal branches unveiled
Ice purer than diamonds
Fresh canvas revealed

A display of new found glory
In spring the earth will replenish
Each year a fresh kaleidoscope
May it never finish!
