I prefer the color bursts of petals,
Over the color bursts of leaves.
I prefer the clear meadows of Spring,
Over the dense foliage of Autumn;
For one heralds the arrival of life,
While the other, heralds cold decay.
Though both seasons reside in Oneness,
And each has a letter in His holy name,
In one, I hunker down for the coming freeze,
While in the other, I flourish in the gentle breeze.
