Searching Through Seasons for Self

I searched laboriously for you in the cold winter rains, shivering from the shallowness. I chased you on the hot, sultry days of summer, feeling your presence hovering over me like a winged angel with a message from God. I felt you change me during the reflective, transitional days of fall, with a promise of better times and abundant colors and joy. I found you, though, quite unexpectedly in spring blossoms. In my newness of life, for the first time, I felt whole.
