If this did not happen, the story would feel like a bare tree in the winter after all its beautiful leaves were stolen by the wind. However, some stories don’t necessarily need a “hailing” to feel complete. They just won’t make the cut for the hero’s journey.

This is represented through seasons with each season representing a different mood or stage in the cycle of growth. He develops his message through the personification of nature to show the drastic changes of plants.

Nature’s leaf blooms to a flower, but that moment in time is short, because things that bloom can also die quickly like the crocuses that appear at the beginning of spring. The color gold appears again when dawn is used in the poem, but like every other line, the gold of dawn soon fades to the blue of day. This poem has a rather simple theme of impermanence. This is a rather broad theme, as it could be the impermanence of beauty or good things that fade off after a short time.
