Seeds, Soil, Water and Time

Seed
unassuming seed
a shell
and a dream

Soil
unassuming soil
particles of decayed animals
feces and dirt
worms and insects

Water
unassuming water
Hydrogen and oxygen forming
a shapeless and colorless
lifeless compound

Time
unassuming time
the current of life
bringing change, destruction
and space for new creation

Spring
the rain falls
connecting the water, the seed and the soil
Time blesses their marriage
and new life springs

From the simplest of elements
life is created
from the soil, water and the sun
all life springs

Summer
the flowers are blooming
the marriage is complete
animals lavish in the
fruits of the earth

Fall
The flowers wilt
decay and die
fertilizing
the ground for spring

Winter
Blizzards and storms
Ice and snow
Creating the snow pack that will feed the streams
in the spring

Spring
a familiar friend
An old compainion

Time
has a way
of reminding me

That spring, summer, fall and winter
are all on the way

All in due time
My friend, my companion
as we sit and watch the seasons pass
We laugh about the frogs croaking
and chasing fire flies on a warm summer night
