seasons

as the days get longer...and the sun sets later...
when the sun goes down...i have time to stop...
to watch...
and to see the amazing colors...

it's early spring here....from day to day the weather changes...
from warm today...
to rain and snow tomorrow...
i love the warm weather....i really do
but i was thinking today...
even though...summer is my favorite time of year...
i have an enjoyment in seasons...that is hard for me to explain...

a full december moon with a ring around it...
when snow falls ....and in the middle of the night...
watching the flakes ...as they are illuminated in the street lights...

the gentle colors of fall...
when the leaves turn...and the grass is still green...
the first smell of wood burning in fireplaces...

the smell of the first rain of spring...
how the everything looks so clean...and...
suddenly the world turns green again....

warm summer nights....
with a sky full of stars....
when the night goes...leaving...morning dew on the grass...

so tonight after a touch of warmth...
for a few days...
rain and snow return before the morning...
the wind blew the clouds in..
early this evening...
and although it is still warm...
i can feel the storm coming...

i guess my reason for writing this is....i realize...nothing comes easy....i love the warm weather....i really do...but seasons don't change over night...they sneak up on us...slowly...sometimes when we're not ready....and sometimes...when we're not looking....but they do change....
most times...our lives are like seasons..change doesn't come overnight...but it does come...on rare occasions....change is thrust upon us....but mostly it's gradual....like the seasons....
