The spring brought her youth
Her blush colored the flowers
Her smile warmed the sun
Her veil became the rainbow
Her innocence lent the dew its charm
Her laugh gave the birds their song
Her vitality was the verdure all around
The summer gifted her passion
Her love scorched the earth
Her tears made the clouds pour down
Her joy drained the waters
Her passion was the sun’s fire
Her spirit was lifted high
Her dreams were the summer sky
The autumn darkened her dreams
Her heart bore the emptiness of trees
Her spirit had fallen with the dry leaves
Her dreams were the same bloody color
Her sun had cooled and the tears were over
Her smile was gone and life well on its way
Her laugh unheard with the birds all away
The winter brought her death
Her heart had long been gone
And only her breath marching on
Against the fates and winter winds
Her spirit was frozen but not yet dead
Like fire without flames but glowing red
Needing but a breeze to spring to life
For yet another life and another spring
