The Pouch of Seasons
In the palm of the Creator, lies a pouch,
Interwoven with silver stars, secrets, and the warmth of infinite hearts
In the palm of the Creator
Lies the key to the changes of the Earth
You see, the Pouch of Seasons holds the smiles of spring, the laughter of summer, the peace of autumn, and the joy of winter
It holds the vibrant, blossoming flowers that perform a show of colors
It holds the sweet sound of melodies sung from the chorus of birds
The cool tingle of water rushing over you in the trickling stream
The clear blue skies that harbor the creamy white clouds
Of Spring
It holds the blazing sun that shine golden rays onto soft, sunkissed skin
It holds the laughter of the children running through the grassy fields
The feeling of relief when you dive into the refreshing, crystal clear lake
The sticky ice cream that drips down your chin
Of Summer
It holds the red and orange leaves that shine like a flame
It holds the sweet, juicy apples in abundant orchards
The chilly breeze that whispers of Winter
The dust that is sweeped off jackets that come out once again
Of Autumn
It holds the frosty, white, snowflakes that dance to the ground
It holds the warmth of a steaming cup of a wintery drink, pressed tightly between cold hands
The swirls engraved on the ice, made by the twirling ice skaters
The cozy feeling of being bundled in a furry blanket, safe from the storm
Of Winter
In the Pouch of the Seasons
