I waited for you
Until the frost turned to dew
And snow on the mountains
Began melting
Slipping down
And becoming
Running streams
Pools of tears
That lay in puddles around my feet
For so very long
There was no way
To speak of how it felt
To be always be the one
Silently waiting
Until my own body froze
As it became harder and harder to awaken
From a deathly sleep
That paralysed my limbs
And set my soul akilter
But now with spring
As I feel the thaw
And listen
As the starlings sing
These remembrances become
No longer thieves of my desire for life
But reasons why I must decide
To rouse myself from slumber
And dare to reach for
Longing
Life and breath
Again
Stretching my heart and soul and limbs
Daring to sing
My soul’s true song
Again
Emerging From The Dark Night 
a sweet awakening, a soulful spring

just like the soul, the planet only gives subtle signs, to a point.

Thanks again, Marc. Yeah sometimes I look back and think wow if we knew what was in front of us we wouldn’t even start 🙂 that said that isn’t what life is. Peace and love, lots of it, in return.
