The Seasons of Life
Death is like Winter, and Winter is like Death:
Cold, barren, a frozen wasteland of decay.
So, if Death be Winter,
Birth is like Spring, and Spring is like Birth:
Life blossoming all around, growing in light.
So, if Spring be Birth,
Summer is like Childhood, and Childhood like Summer:
High spirits shining and playing in the warmth that is love.
So, if Summer is Childhood,
Autumn is like Adolescence, and Adolescence is like Autumn:
Full of change, the beginning of one's end.
So, life is like the seasons, and the seasons are like life
Both come round, to a full circle.
Death becomes life and like fades away and becomes Death.
One in the same, they are,
