Summer grows
in verdure waves.
Fulgent star
encouraging
brazen blooms
on lanky stems,
crowning earth in floral plumes.
Autumn falls
in firestorm hues;
Consummate
fruitful labor
easing limbs.
Empty nests show
parental duties complete.
Winter ends
with earth's respite.
Branches grieve
for fall's decay.
Thus becomes
solum solstice;
orphaned litter giving back.
