My Friend in All Seasons

Blue skies
running through a field
flopping down
staring at the clouds
laughing, chasing
each other across the grass
the smell of clover
in my head
sun shining
warming my skin
I turn around
there you are
laughing too
Orange trees
with red and yellow
throwing leaves up
in the air
brisk wind
a scarf around my shoulders
the smell of dirt
in my head
crunching through
the fallen foliage
I turn around
there you are
laughing too
Cold rain
dotting the ground
grey skies
skipping between droplets
a stronger breeze
blowing leaves away
sitting, staring
out the window
warm inside
still happy
rain doesn't bring
any gloominess
only the smell
of fresh wet ground
I turn around
there you are
laughing too
Buds on trees
wet green plant life
verdant on sepia
the purple flowers
on bare branches
cherry blossoms
float to the ground
we climb the trees
talking of life
found a robins' nest
in the tree
three blue eggs
lying speckled
the Earth around us
sprouting up
I turn around
there you are
laughing too
My friend in all seasons
don't leave me
I'll show you everything
the cycle again.
