Seasons Awake by Chris Barry

Seasons Awake

© Chris Barry


Spring brings April sunshine showers
Bouncing lambs and budding flowers
Gorse and sprouting headland groves
Primrose blossoms and furrowed troves

Summer buds the fragrant rose
Gracing havens where kinships muse
Meadows and headlands bouquets of joys
Dawnchorus, crimson twilights and laden hoys

Autumn hails the humble haze
Rustic golden leaves amaze
Gathering fruit from brambled crests
Harvest bless the homestead fests

Winter sets the countryside aglow
Mountains curvaceously topped with snow
Naked boughs chilled with icy grips
Christmas fests the Christ born scripts
