Winter Wonderland, Summer Karaoke!!

 

 All trespasses, blemishes resolved
Repentant penitent souls absolved
Harkening their sincere pleas loud
Master cloaks sins in white shroud
 
Cotton snowflakes in air dancing like a dream
Daubs of white swirls crowning an ice cream
Shaving cream sporting stark trees now agleam
Unwashed white sentinels stand spread, a ream

 

Avenues, streets come alive, a winter wonderland
Death  can be achingly beautiful we now understand
Endings herald new beginnings, time does not stand
Winter cloak melts for summers green cummerbund!

 

Dappled sunlight shining through lattice of foliage
Bringing into relief winding road delineated by age
Glowing rays indicate season’s relay baton passage
Spring, summer, fall winter wind unwind- a truthful adage!!

The tendinous part of the mind, so to speak, is more developed in winter;
the fleshy, in summer. I should say winter had given the bone and sinew
to literature, summer the tissues and the blood.
John Burroughs (1837 – 1921), The Snow-Walkers 

 
 

If winter is slumber and spring is birth, and summer is life, then
autumn rounds out to be reflection. It’s a time of year when the leaves
are down and the harvest is in and the perennials are gone.  Mother Earth
just closed up the drapes on another year and it’s time to reflect on what’s come before.
Mitchell Burgess, Northern Exposure, Thanksgiving, 1992  

 

The leaves fall, the wind blows, and the farm country slowly
 changes from the summer cottons into its winter wools.
Henry Beston, Northern Farm

 

One kind word can warm three winter months.
Japanese proverb  

 

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant:  if we did
not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.
Anne Bradstreet (1612 – 1672), ‘Meditations Divine and Moral,’ 1655
