Seasons Change

Twisting my head I see

it is a boulevard of lemon trees

blinking into yellow autumn leaves

I lay around for hours

settling on withered flowers

brushing my aura in cool breezes 

and I dream as the weather pleases

white sun beams into warm spring

Cherry blossoms the harvests bring

fall becomes winter 

winter welcomes springtime

Have the seasons changed

or have my dazed spirits?

Droplets of water

brought me out of sleep

as I dreamed, dreamed and dreamed

leaves of fragrance pull my lost heart

back to life in green avenues

My dazed spirits are made free

Surely the seasons have changed me.
