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

The Cyrstal Ocean Above

Crystal Ocean above
Swirling, dancing
Blanketing the world eternally
Submersed in the heavenly broth
Always giving, always taking away

Existence forever praising 
Singing, delivering
Persistent eruptions of hope
Pouring itself into young hearts
Forlorn, longing 

No longer desolate
Deserted, abhorred
New life turning over
Scouring ‘way bleakness
Trepidation, apprehension

Life restored, 
Adored, unabsorbed
Listlessness Banished away 
Buried high within
The Crystal Ocean above
