Spring and Fall

Spring is like
A sweet flower in bloom
Fall is like the darkness
All dreary and gloom

Spring is the dewdrops
Dripping softly from the eves
Fall is the sound
Of the rustling leaves.

Spring is the sun
Warmth caressing your soul
Fall is the clouds
Warmth and sun they stole

Spring is the sound
Of children at play
Fall is the sound
Of them rushing through their day

Spring is the color green
Like leaves on a tree
Fall is the color brown
Like the Earth surrounding me

Spring is like
The beginning of life
While fall is like
The end of a knife

Spring is the awakening
Of animals big and small
Fall is the slumber
Of the animals' call

Both are great
These two seasons
All for their own
Special reasons.
