I

Spring rouses the bear.

We create worlds from forests,

Rocks, soil, and dreams.

II

Summer sun shines down

On the fruits of our labor.

Civilization.

III

Autumn wind fans flames

That consume the worlds we made.

Dying embers cool.

IV

Winter snow covers

Twisted steel and cracked marble.

A new season waits.
