I'm glad to see someone read and thought about this poem.
I suppose the meaning of it is rather oblique, and I could fix that. But it's actual one part of a series of poems dealing with a loved one's death. This poem happens to actually be written from the viewpoint of God, who is building up his kingdom one stone -- or human soul -- at a time, and remembering who they were before they changed from their physical state and how they have come to where they are, using the four seasons as a symbol for the passage of life. And as to trying to sound profound, yes, I am to some degree considering who the speaker is supposed to be -- but this was also submitted as a first draft, before any actual editing or paring down on the blatantly overly poetic language.

And what has it offered you? I don't know what it has offered you specifically, but at least it made you think enough to write a fairly lengthy response, which in turn caused me to do the same.

And I'm so sorry if you feel cheated and worthless.
