This Cube Sculpture represents the 4 seasons of 2020 for me.

Side 1

Mother and child reconnect.

Time once again for nurture

There is sweetness in slowness

And growth in depth

Take your time 

She whispered

and giggled.

Side 3

He found a name only too late

Everyone finally noticed

Had enough.

Watched this for years

Tired of it.

The people are shouting something

Listen.

Side 2

Contemplate your choices

Reflecting on a past that has past

Memories of a different time

Today there are no sounds

Only wind through the window

Only quiet and thought.

Side 4

The tree of Life

Wise one who knows

Who has seen birth and death

Return with the seasons

Accept change with grace

Allow what comes 

Let go of what leaves.
