Flowers of summer fade,
seeds scatter,
winds of fall.
Delicious promise,
seeds in winter hearts,
ever hopeful.

Steaming,
fragrance of life.
Flowering thoughts blossom.
Hope curls and dances,
Tasting love and promise,
– wind hear us.

Hope,
sunshine of
the heart,
colour of
the soul.
Dance winter,
until you flower!
