Celestial Battles

Warmer days of summer gone,
heat and light less potent.

Fall time just fading memories,
lives at their end.

Passing winters equinox,
air crisp, harder to breath.

One celestial battle culminates,
darkness gains victory.

Light of day starts to lengthen,
another skirmish begun.

Soon harsh winter days will pass,
spring and new life will come.

Light persisting to assault darkness,
summer now waging war.

Longer days, bright and warm,
holding darkness at bay.

Summers equinox appears,
culminating another celestial battle.

Longest daylight hours displayed,
claiming conquest as its reward.
