Snow steadily falling like a blanket
Never ending
Not knowing when it will ever stop
No signs of giving up
Until the clouds let the sun peek out
Slowly, steadily, coming out the thick clouds
Allowing the light to warm the landscape
Never giving up
Not until the spring rains will it ever hide
But whenever it has the chance
It brings new life to the world
The flowers blooming, the butterflies fluttering
Along with the warm spring breeze
Then once sets the sun
All life goes away for the night
Except for the light
That comes from the fireflies trapped in a jar
Only until the sun comes back from over the horizon
Will once again nature will want to hide itself
From the hot, blistering heat
Of the oppressive summer's day
Just waiting for the sigh of relief
Then as time goes by
The hot, muggy air of summer
Turns into the crisp cool air of autumn
Leaves start to turn magnificent shades of red, orange, yellow
In the beautiful color splashed mountains
Where the great, mighty bear
Stocks up a food for the colder days to come
And eventually the leaves of the painters pallet
Start to all come off the trees
Preparing for the first winter snow to come again
