Winter ends—- Spring will sing—- Snow waves goodbye—- Dew drops fall—- Flowers awaken From under their blankets.
Spring fades away—- Summer has sprouted—- All is warm and new—- Lush green velvet grass—- Lakes glisten turquoise blue—- Show me such beauty I know is true.
Summer gives way to fall—- Leaves don their face—- The cold lashes its tongue—- Trees begin to shed their skin—- How bare nature looks When winter sinks its hooks.
Fall has disappeared—- White has settled in—- Snowmen stand in numbers—- Birds are gone again—- As nature spins its wheels, God’s beauty slowly reveals.
When snow has come and lingered for a time, The mountains shine like pure white satin sheets. The jagged rocks that stand and point like knives, Have but a look of poise and symmetry. The houses they in hibernation go, and sink like ships way deep beneath the waves. Cold air does whoosh in frigid gusty blows, But stops to peek a while inside a cave. The birds take off from empty bare tree nests, To seek their food which they know is not there. The trees did fall asleep like all the rest Of this great wintry beauty of no where. The hunters coming back from years afar, Do find their world still bright like heaven’s star.
I sit and look up to the sky, With heart felt tears within my eyes, The clouds they float and pass away, But will this hurt I have caused today? The leaves they whither and fall to the ground, Like my heart when this sadness mounds. This rain and thunder I wish I could erase, And wipe the pain from your sweet face. But I can’t change what I have done, Like the blowing wind the past is gone. I can only offer this with every part, And say I am sorry with all my heart.
Look on sea blue skies and see a dove that carries warmth from me. Lie your weary soul on soft smooth sand, close your eyes, I’ll take your hand. Smell the sweetness that painted flowers send, and know the comfort to thee I do attend. Listen, to the woosh of the waves, hear my whispering words that linger lightly as they say, look at me, across the vast expanse of time, I am with you, in heart and in mind.
