Seasons of the Heart

I remember spring,
yearning,
bud of anticipation,
then bursting bloom of ecstasy.
Love was a joyous tumble in
the fragrance of you.

I remember summer,
heat of desire,
spontaneous love,
anywhere, anytime.
The steady shine of
radiant us.

I remember fall,
cool evening walks,
long talks,
brisk, laughing breezes.
Love painted itself with
splashing color.

Now it's winter,
cold nights, with
stark landscapes, haunting
memories of days gone by.
Love seems encased in ice,
praying

for the thaw.
