My Summer

piece by piece it comes apart
like a cloak that frays
once a complicated heart
has found a simpler way
something that is real
a truth that I can touch
a feeling I can feel
I now hold in my clutch

it's all I ever wanted to be
I just searched in the wrong place
as it is revealed to me
as grace reveals its face
once I carried a heavy load
but that weight has been lifted
this path I chose is the right road
and I'm no longer drifting

I once held the winter's son
tightly in my grip
I fought hard, ne'er a battle won
that was the gist of it
it came too slow the letting go
and the soul I once laid bare
days of snow and bitter cold
on the trail that I blazed there

what stays behind in a winter wonderland
now blossoms green with spring
the hourglass with shifting sand
sweet memories that it brings
I don't regret, I won't forget
in tissue I pack it away
the letting go of all that's left
as my summer makes its way
