She

She is not Spring

                New, blossoming, welcoming

She is not Summer

                Warm, inviting, healing

She is not Fall

                Multi-colored, fiery, golden

 

She is Winter

                Pale, cold, harsh

Bitter against your skin

Lifeless skies & dark clouds covering the sun

Barren fields & shivering corners of damp earth

 

She is the empty echoes of yesterdays lost
