Birds fly
Soaring high
In the sky
Clouds part
Taking them
Into their heart –
Close again
Groaning low
With their pain.
A lightning flash-
And tears come
As the clouds
Dash heads in vain
Birds dive
From up high
Seeking shelter
On the plain
The nest beckons
They huddle close
Squeaking shrilly
Of their woes
Winter goes
And spring arrives
Cheering up
Their dreary lives
Sun smiles
A cheeky grin
Blushes to the cheeks
Of roses brings
Birds sing
And flowers dance
As the summer
Does advance…
Till again
Comes the rain
And they scan
The skies in vain
For the sulking
Sun to smile
And spread light
Over every mile
The seasons all
Have had their turn
Under Nature’s
eyes so stern
and on and on
and round and round
Life turns around
It’s merry-go-round.

There is the cycle of life presented in this poem and a beautiful cycle it is indeed.
Yes life’s cycle is indeed interesting, exciting and challenging and as the seasons change so do we mature too
Safina, the shifts from storm to sunlight, from fear to song, make this feel like nature’s own lullaby…a whole world breathing in cycles. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Life is what we make of it and as the seasons change so do we, and hopefully we learn to take each day as it comes and live it well. 💐
You've certainly given rich life to seasonal change; a rolling snapshot well delivered. I cannot agree that it is always 'merry' though...😊
Yes it may not always be merry; but it need not be gloomy always - it’s really challenging to smile when one looks at what’s going on in the world; but, but, but- I would still say that the seasons have nurtured and matured us - so let’s make the most of what it has to offer
Enjoy your weekend 💐take care ✌️
You smile when you are neck deep in water or your rear end is on fire as you try to flee - don't let either of those happen to you this weekend - have a good one,😊
