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.

Through the seasons you found God and yourself. This journey towards God was not something short or easily attained. It was a search through seasons and it found fruition slowly and its culmination came in Spring when you beheld beauty in everything created by God. In spring blossoms and the rainbow colors, you saw God. Beautiful Poem, dear Bill. Wish the lovely couple Sara and Bill a great New Year of happy togetherness.

Thanks for the comment, Jay. I believe nature is revealing many things to mankind that we aren't even smart enough to be looking for yet. :-) Have a great week, my friend. Bill

Very true my friend, I agree with your wise words and sentiments.. I find silence so beautiful and it helps me think and contemplate about life... I always find answers in silence and I can only write poetry in silence also..

Only write poetry in silence, I strongly resonate with this statement, Silent one. My biggest challenge is to find time each day to calm myself and find silence to create poetry in. Your comments are a lifeline to my creative effort, my friend. Thank You, Bill
