and breath of bees and butterflies
an endless dance

in his exquisite dance
that drives off extinction

skirts of snow
at the feet of trees

snow releasing its embrace
soon the freed the oak leaf
can dance with the wind
once again

seeking harmony between the seasons

dances in the blue
summoning green

Invited by the sun to the spring fling
the earth wears a blushing peony.

dances in the water.

awaits the safety of snow
before the dance of flames.

take their last curtain call
before autumn closes the show
