There's bodies beneath my feet.
They slowly lose there voices,
along with themselves.
But they are never truly gone.
For they live again in the trees,
in the grass,
in the flowers
until winter comes,
and then they die again.

I wrote this poem almost two years ago. I've made some improvements, and I'm still thinking about adding more to it.
Let me know what you think.

reflective. that's the word this poem reminds me of. that and, of course, death.  I think you should add on to it. maybe go into a specific example of someone dying and the life of spring helping you/someone overcoming it. and then winter ocmes again.
