Matthew Rousseau - The Year

She’s as small, yet beautiful
as the budding spring leaves
She’s as radient and strong
as a summer day
She’s as colorful and calm
as the leaves falling off the autumn trees
Her hairs as white, and her mood as soft
As a snowflake falling on the ground
She's Born budding
And She Dies Soft

Matthew Rousseau
