I put entirely to much thought into this, but hey.....it helps me when I think of those that are gone........to think of what they left behind more then the fact that they are no longer within my reach.....
Imagine for a moment, the four seasons.......
A baby's first cry, the drops of tears that fall from its eyes.....
Spring:
A New Beginning. With it comes life, everything blooming and spreading itself on the wind. The rain that falls brings a freshness, liquid life flowing through the earth. Warm sun-rays cascading through the pale blue sky, making the "blood" of the earth grow warm enough for it to sprout its limbs and spread out over the land.
A child matures and grows into a young adult.....
Summer:
With its new found life, it grows and matures. Growing in abundance within the now strong life force feeding it. Showing its true colors, in all its glory. The earth is alive and vibrant, reaching its peak growth, and opening its blossoms, baring its "soul" to the world that contains it.
An adult emerges, spreading their wings. The once growing child, in its prime and ready to sprout its own......
Fall:
Everything spreading its seed over the land, the strong and the able leaving its mark behind. Once again so full of color only this time as the life slowly drains away. Slowly the world swallows itself, entering into a deep sleep. New life grows unseen.
Death becomes them.....
Winter:
The land grows cold and everything dies, leaving only traces of what once was. And yet underneath it all......the seeds of yesterday are growing. Soon to become the new life of today.
Like the seasons, we are born, we grow, we spread our seeds and we die. Just like the memories of the year before, we leave our memories behind. We are all a part of the cycle, and I believe when we die, we return to that place, to start all over again.....the seeds of yesterday, will someday be the seeds of today, all over again....
