"Be happy but never satisfied" -Unknown


The four seasons take their time-
Hot and melting like ice cream in summer.
Cool and breezy like the crunch of leaves in fall.
Harsh and bitter like the bite of winter.
Fresh and new like the tree saplings in spring.
Time flies as seasons come and go, live life.

Time, a theory: just live life
Like this is you're moment, enjoy the Time.
Rebirth, renewal, rejuvenate, Spring.
Blazing, boiling, blistering, summer
Penetrating, persistent, winter
Exhilarating, energizing, Fall

Crisp like a fresh apple, fall.
Free like the American Dream was, Life.
Young like you're playing in the snow, winter.
Tick tock like the clocks moving slowly, Time.
Lively like a carefree concert, summer.
Misty like the morning grass dew, spring.

Watching, waiting, over, spring.
But oh way too Soon comes the dreaded fall
Only after a time of love: Summer
Is the time to let loose and live one's Life
As things begin anew, this is the Time
For one to forgive and forget, Winter

Time to hunker down, Winter.
Grass is green and pep is back, this is spring.
Rushed and hurried sometimes just take your Time
Or unbeknownst to you, you will soon Fall.
When it is not what you expect, live Life.
Enjoy the bright days and long nights Summer-

Sleep all day, live all night, summer.
Play in the snow like you're young, Winter.
Stop complicating it, just live your Life.
As this nears, excitement growing high, spring.
Tensions build but make sure you do not Fall,
Just enjoy day by day and love your Time.

Enjoy time you get, spring turns to Summer-
Fight winter to enjoy another fall.
Love this life, you're not getting any more time.

The midwest has ever changing weather and just inspired me to write this sestina. Also, it reminds people that life is ever changing and to live in the moment and not regret anything they do.
