So It Is With You
Even when the trees have forfeited their leaves
Lost eternally in a fog-filled plain of despair
And all is submersed in deafening silence
I brace myself for colder winds
Still I notice you on colder nights
When darkness encroaches on my soul
Reminiscing of peaceful mountain bliss
Encased in an indomitable white blanket
All creation shivers underneath
Forceful piercing winds blowing gray
Gnawing away my hope for more
But what was relentlessly frozen through
Has bravely surfaced impenetrable doubt
Redecorating life in vivacious greens
Even now in death you open intrepid doors
For new life to begin an extravagant novel journey
And so it is with you and how you make me new
In every season's change
