Sing Your Own Song of Seasons
by Amee Shah

Summer flowers came and went
Like sands in an hourglass
Time keeps on ticking
Wrestle it down to stop
but it won’t
So settle into its flow
Listen to the song of swallows
And sing your own song of seasons
Greet the iridescent wings of elms and maples
And walk under the golden canopy of ginkgo
Follow the trail of piney autumn bonfires
Catch the flinty sun ray piercing silken branches
The world has caught fire
Amber, Gold, Burgundy
fast gobbling up the green
How glorious it is
to walk like Kings and Queens
With colorful sentinels
rising up alongside allées
Showering us
with season’s last blessed leaves

She finds poetry and art to not only be personal expressions and medium to process her connection with the natural world, but also a powerful way to plug into the spiritual realm and receive gifts of wonder and awe, gratitude, a sense of abundance, and profound insights and creativity that further allow her to bring back into her work of teaching, coaching, and counseling. She has her first book of poetry published and received with wide interest. Her book is titled, Becoming the Light: From Angst to Awakening, available on Amazon.
