the blue muse

a wave goodbye to winter…

I will be sad to see you go this year, having enjoyed
these moments of reflection, calm, restoration

yet I love the spring, with its flowers, its color, its hope…
a day in the garden is my definition of heaven

and summer brings sunshine, busy days, jewelry shows,
old faces, new friends, evenings spent outdoors, sunsets

until it is autumn, new colors, crisp air, my favorite season,
perfect for running, breathing in the scent of leaves

and before I know it, the holidays, time for family, cozy fires,
lots and lots of tempting food…

then winter, back again, time to rest my bones,
dream a little, learn new things…

this tapestry of seasons
weaves itself throughout my life,
always there in the background,
creating the pattern
of my days.
