Cheers to the Season

 

Cheers to the season

while the garden of greens

faded to hues of honey

and carmel, the final sweetness.

Cheers to the season,

the Pond remained covered

in lotus and lettuce

protected by my forest.

Cheers to the season,

as winter birds moved in,

caroling their happy songs

scouting newly set bird feeders.

Cheers to the season,

Gus the Asparagus fern

continues his growth residing

in his winter residence.

Cheers to the season,

now a memory

and dreams of spring

banish thoughts of winter.
