You came not in soft Spring, whose pregnant seed
wonder welcomes with its womb run riot.
You came not when warm Summer's gorging greed
plays havoc with both growth restrained, strained diet.
You came not during Autumn when most feed
on energy soon spilled, asleep, stilled quiet.
You came on stage engaging Winter’s need,
'magmatude' emotion ocean guyot
spilling promised warmth, life's wonder-bead,
to counter fears, advancing years’ disquiet.
Harmony, appearing unexpected,
witness bears to humankind perfected.
Author notes
Guyot noun: a seamount of volcanic origin (especially in the Pacific Ocean)

Oh wow, its a sensory overload!! I would stand and applaud if I would not get funny looks standing in front of the comp clapping madly.. Well done is not enough, and I do not know what else to say!!!

You came not in soft Spring where shy buds prepare outside life, but you came in Summer when both warm wind and sun witness flowers blossom. Amongst unrest and fears, in summer abundance, your tender look you raised above time, -past, present and future/ spring, summer, autumn, winter: the same. Through winter's eyes, summer could appear unwise. Through summer's eyes, winter could look too sad. The circle of life learns a lot, and harmony has nothing to do with linearity. Fortunately, summer and winter share their notes with the other's to help each of them to perfect. Winter and Summer together coincide.

Responsum
Moments in time outside Time prove to be
As seasons lose their linearity,
Unrest absconds, serenity replaces,
Dark fears, hope hears shared signal heart embraces,
Each in accord advances, joy pours free
