Analysis of Cycles

A butterfly wilts in still air,
the decaying days of summer,
leaves shimmer under golden sphere,
red, orange, yellow,
all blend together beautifully,
a kaleidoscope array of autumn,
when winds bring a breeze,
carrying whispers of winter's arrival,
nature's desolation,
bleak whiteness reflecting an early sun,
just a harbinger of the planet's
rebirth,
life comes back,
waking to a green spring,
the butterfly returns,
cycles begin anew.
