Robert Charles Howard - Growing Season

A giant pendulum in the cosmos swings
      and galactic pinwheels circle in the aether.
The vernal equinox brings fairer weather
      as gentle rains sire life's new springings.

Crocuses push the snow aside, a skylark sings
      of light and darkness held in equal measure.
Then pastel fingers on the boughs appear
      as flora bloom and fauna ply their matings.

The softened fields embrace the tillers’ blades
      sowing seeds for the ever nourishing sun
to raise to golden fields of finest wheat.

The pendulum swings once more as summer fades.
    Our Earthly axis seeks a cool inflection
as farmers hail the harvest now complete.
