…against the ebb

Falling in beauty
the red and gold of autumn
spiralling playfully
snowflakes drift softly to earth

silvery moonlight
falls pearled and luminescent
heavy morning dew
fragrant spring blossoms gather

a velvet carpet
sun sets gracefully each day
waves roll into shore
painting pictures as they land

rain transforms the scene
with whispering songs of joy
we fall into love
in colours of happiness

like leaves and petals
snowflakes and moonlight
blinded by the light
rhythm of sea and hymns of sky

falling in beauty
against the ebb to the ground
seasons will flow regardless
