The Change
Daily Prompt: For many of us, winter is blooming into spring, or fall hardening into winter. Which season do you most look forward to?
Never the return of green and running falls
Dispelling ice from souls too long frozen
Nor summer sand burning toes
Ocean’s glimmer chosen for respite from the weary world
We do not covet autumn’s hues or
Changes come with dying splendor’s promise of the celebration
Of another time to seal away to rest, a winter solstice,
Snowy embrace!
My Warm Sun by JE Lillie
The thing we long for is just the change.

This was just pure wonderful, Pastor J, the way you responded to the prompt! Thank you and God bless you!
Thank you Deb!
Hmmmm! Which season do I look forward to? Winter! (but I wouldn’t say we get any).
We don’t really see a change between seasons here. We don’t have cold in winter. We don’t have deciduous trees, so we don’t have autumn tonings. We do see a few spring blossoms, but not with the dramatic effect of coming after a bleak winter, so spring enters without notice by most. We DO have summer – and how we have summer! – hot, steamy humidity that seems to last most of the year. We are presently half way through our official autumn, but it is still hot.
Some would say we have two seasons – drought and flood – as our “National Poem” by Dorothea Mackellar says:
I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains;
Of rugged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
PS I love you way you depicted the changes.
Thanks for this compliment Angela. Change and big change is a normal part of our weather here. It becomes part of our life cycle and we don’t even realize it. Every New Englander is excited about the coming of a new season but we are quick to “hate” it once it arrives. It’s all about the change, which is odd because we tend to be rather sticky about every other kind of change except the weather.
