Day 1 of 12 Day's of Yuletide Poetry/Writing Challenge - Theme: Winter Solstice/Nature

Hey all. I know it's been a long time since I've posted any of my original work here.

I for one have been bogged down with not only Christmas preparations but also participating in NaNoWriMo. I was happy to actually finish an entire story in one month.

For those of you that would like to see the fruits of that labor, follow this link: An Aspie's Life: The Untold and Unknown Story

But this time, a good friend and I have taken another challenge upon ourselves. True to form though, I'm currently working on the one for today as I'm posting the one from yesterday. So a not so rare double post from me again. Here's hoping I can get back on track.

This challenge was posted on Facebook and found by my good friend. Here's the link for those that are curious: 12 Days of Yuletide Poetry/Writing Challenge

For day one starting yesterday on the 21st, the theme was Winter Solstice/Nature. It didn't have to be Christmas or Holiday themed but it had to go with the topic somehow. In future dates the theme of my poem will just be up as the title of that day's blog post.

So without further ado.

Nature

Seamless flowing,
constantly changing.
Always the same order
but never the same manner.
Each blurs into the next.

Hot to cold.
Cold to hot.
Passing through the spectrum of colors,
a kaleidoscope effect.
Tumbling one over the other
yet sweeping majestically
while constantly morphing.

New sights,
new sounds,
new smells
while basking under the sun
or tucked deep within the
frosty landscape.

It is all around
but also within.
The nature of the seasons
and the nature of us all.
