THE BRIGHTEST STAR: A Beacon of Hope & Inspiration - Poetry Planet International Literary magazine December 2024 edition

The seasons are akin to everything in life. Life has seasons, just like nature around us—the jubilant spring in its full bloom, the scorching summer, the majestic autumn, and the sleeping winter—all bring specific lessons, joys, challenges, and perceptions about living one's life.

As spring is to youth, so it is with us. We are filled with energy and avidity to try everything that comes our way. We dream and bloom with hope, thirst for knowledge, and other such youthful ideals, as we are fragile yet strong enough to survive this wild world effectively.

Old age is the summer of life; it is perhaps the most high-spirited, action-saturated, and full-throttle time of most people's lives. There is a great deal of interest and connection among people who use their energy in attempts to realize themselves. That is what summer is really about in the end; it is a season for all passion, ambition, and fulfillment.
