STEPS

Blazing summer smiles

Occasional norwester

Brings pain and pleasure

Light footsteps of rain

A beauty at first, then beast

Teaches endurance

Early autumn is

Comely, serene and festive

Sprinkling contentment

In fall; late autumn

‘Ecstasy and agony’

Keats is everywhere

Trees shorn of beauty

Expectant for warm caress

And fragrant moments

Sprightly spring steps in

Her magic wand blesses all

Life returns with joy

Thus come one by one

Touches, teaches each of us

For the final step
