The Tree in the Winter
Oh how one can see
You have lost your beauty
To the outside appearance
The cold snow covers your limbs
Even down to surrounding the roots
Appearing alone in seeking death
In the night you feel no hope
Left out in the darkness
Feeling to have gone blind in the search
But within you still seek
That morning sunlight to bring warmth
Which is felt in the center of the soul
Keeping hope it will live to another season
Growing in depth and embracing
These times to create beauty within
For when it's time for the spring
The beauty will flourish to all around
Growing new limbs full of leaves
Giving shelter for the birds to raise their young
Revealing to others the life within
Which has given so much joy
To keep growing and absorbing
All the surrounding water and sunlight
Which is available to any that seek
Shouting with praise for others
To receive this new life within
