when the autumn leaves fell
the trees slipped into a slumber
before winter sprinkled the mountains
with snow white glaze
when spring flowers burst through
emerald grass we chased after
butterflies into summer’s gaze
that held us enthralled until
she departed with twilight kisses

DeleteI love the use of sibilance in your quadrille, Maria, which gives it a sparkle, and the contrast of ‘snow white gaze’ with ‘butterflies into summer’s gaze’.
