Summer shines
reflections in the water.
A man walks by
to show his daughter
a passage through time.
As they keep on going,
the air gets colder,
the waters still flowing,
the leaves change colour
from green to brown.
Her moods start to dampen
By the feelings that drown
the happiest of people
who walk in the leaves
and struggle in times
when the ground starts to freeze.
The animals are hidden.
Hibernation takes over,
longing for spring’s luck
Where you find a four leaf clover.
The snow begins to melt.
Her father pulled her through.
She realised what mattered:
Nature’s always true.
No false motives
lie in the land.
The cycle is circling back
and now she understands
when new birth of lambs
gives hope to them both
like flowers and trees planted,
they begin their growth.
The temperatures are rising,
the sun comes out to play.
The little girl asks her dad:
‘Why can’t it stay this way?’
