It's December! its cold! its Christmas time! And its the Peoples Poetry blog comin back to life! To the folks who were lookin foward to Novemeber's theme, we give our sober apologies. But now like good poets, its time to look foward! What is December's 1st theme? Let's throw it out....!
-SEASONS-
I think its pretty appropriate for this time due to the changing seasons in nature....or maybe in our lives....in our hearts and souls......
so write away!
Spring rains
ReplyDeleteTurn the pines black and the needles soft green
The air is wet and warm
And the birds call, unceasing,
To the climbing sun
Spring
The hot sun
Shines down on the pavement from its noon height
So hot you can't stand it
And then the thunder rolls
And the storm comes and passes
Summer
Bright leaves
Scarlet gold orange bursting color
against a sky like sapphire
Smoke rising from the bonfire
We all give thanks
For fall
Bitter cold
Wind like a knife through jacket and sweater
Breath clouds in the air
White winter sun and white winter moon
Stars so clear you could touch them
Winter
Our lives are as
ReplyDeleteThe seasons
We're born
We grow
We live
We die.
But there is
A reason
For every day
That will be
That has come
And that's
Gone by.
ECCLESIASTES 3:1-8 NIV
ReplyDeleteThere is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
Seasons come, seasons go
ReplyDeleteAn ever-onward, lifelong flow
Striving each, in ways their own
God's love to show to all below
Seasons come, seasons go
Like the melting winter snow
When the lively Spring winds blow
O'er the hills and valleys old
Seasons come, seasons go,
Summer sun, life and light pours
Flooding earth with rays so bold
Filling hearts with joy untold
Seasons come, seasons go
Leaves begin to turn to gold
Crackling fires, scent of smoke
Tells the world, Fall has approached
Seasons come, seasons go
Softly, gently, oh so cold
Drifting, tumbling, spiraling down
Whitest marvel ever found, Snow
Seasons come, Seasons go...
It just left, ran along,
ReplyDeleteLeft a shade, left a song,
Don't you weep, it's return,
Will come back, you will learn,
Welcome here, a new cloud,
Sun comes up farther South,
Treat it well, the new day,
For we all hear, what you say,
It will just, but last a while,
You might as well, just learn to smile,
Do a leap, run and greet,
'Fore you know it, it will leave,
Are you puzzled, what's the reason?
Sit and rest, it's just a season!
