The Seasons (ACROSTIC)

Songbird’s pleasant serenades
Preach the blooming life 
Rivers run like renegades
Incarcerating strife 
Nowhere do life’s barriers block the sparks of passion
Godly possibilities too intense to ration 
Sun will shimmer brilliantly 
Under azure skies 
Mother earth’s sublimity
Mastering your eyes
Eternity seems tangible, confidence prevails
Ravaging despondency, harmony avails. 
Afternoons evade like thieves
Unleash a chilling breeze, 
Tussling the fallen leaves 
Under hazel trees,
Midnights spent in solitude, lost in deep reflections
Noting how the colors changed versus one’s projections.
Wrathful blizzards flaunt their might
In the arctic wind
Nothing seen past walls of white
Trembling and pinned 
Eternity evades you now, nightly curtain falls
Relinquish all the fears you hoard, smile when darkness calls.
