World Turning
 
 
A single bud begins to bloom
And starts a wave of flowers
The birds all fly and sing their songs
Or hide when there are showers
 
The tiny seeds blow in the air
And love is all around
The breeze is delicate and light
And barely makes a sound
 
The sun beats hot upon the ground
The sky is still and blue
The grasses start to fade a bit
Not quite as bright as new
 
The warmer air and hiding breeze
Makes everything seem slow
The little showers hide and seek
To help the flowers grow
 
The wind picks up a little chill
To frost the morning air
The leaves burst into hues so bright
And flutter everywhere
 
The stocking time has come about
For creatures large and small
They fill their lairs with food to last
To answer season's call
 
A gentle blanket thick and white
Will cover all around
It wraps the earth in sleepiness
As it falls on the ground
 
Everything is still and cold
The storms all blow away
The sun will lie of blessed warmth
Until snow melts away
 
A single bud begins to bloom...
