"To be nobody- but- yourself in a world which is doing it's best, night and day, to make you everybody else, means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting."-ee cummings


The winter days

where the snow falls

gently to the ground

gently kissing

the earth it meets there

The wind whispers 

secrets of my love

across the fields of regret

and into your wondering ear

The imagery is beautiful, and the usage of "kissing" to set up the romantic setting is lovely. I like the hope this holds, as opposed to the way "Autumn" brims with tears. The contrast, like the story in between, means that you've found a way to intertwine and yet distinguish your four-part series. Well done!
