The seasons bear their creed
an organic ode blossoms
a sentient cloak unfurls
to herald the fallen brave
sharing time and space with
the recycled remnants of Nature
On the Spring Equinox
wild flowers blossom above mounds
of seedlings dormant in their prime
exuding a fragrant incense to the
decaying shrouds silting their soil
On the Summer Solstice
fields of amber grain wave
their tassels in the wind
golden pennants salute
the outlines of chivalry
fluttering in the wind
On the Fall Equinox
a blend of savory herbs
season the filtered pulse
of life and the irony blood
stains that embrace, coating
the sacrificial lambs with
an aromatic cloud
On the Winter Solstice
an ivory coat of snow
insulates the last breaths
pumped from the drowning
reservoirs of blood-soaked
lungs that sang the song
of liberty
an organic ode blossoms

the recycled remnants of Nature
