Drops of water tumble towards the earth, miniscule craters forming upon their impact. A gust of wind causes each droplet to spiral into the bark of trees and leaves tremble at their touch. Clouds pull apart their seams, their misty fingertips leaving trails along the sky. Summer busies himself with painting the world in lush hues as Rain brushes past him. He smiles at her, but she does not smile back. Dewdrops garnish her shoulders as she continues to ignore him. Summer does not breathe easy as he begins to pour a deeper green into the grass. His breath flutters as Rain twirls up thunderstorms. Drizzling the ground with lightning, she smiles.

Hands wet with soil Summer looks to her, though she is engaged in her best effort to flood the earth. With a flimsy touch he reaches out, whispering in warm breezes. She stops. He hangs violent reds against the sky and drapes soft whites to dull the color. A pink haze covers the land as Rain scowls. She begins her tumultuous course to sit upon the bloom of water that is her throne. Darkness glides across the ground and fireflies dapple the landscape. He winces beneath her gaze as he hums with the crickets.

Summer remembers the last lie he said to her.

"I do not need you."

Very beautiful piece. I love the line He smiles at her, but she does not smile back. I think it sums up so much of them. This is probably the best personification of seasons/weather that I've seen.
