And you’ll see them unfolding in snow,
consume the woes of cold January sun
and my heart would taste our laughter,
oh embrace the change brought on by
gesturing years.

The destined sky was filled with clouds,
as I pause and reflect on the emotions
weaving the strands of my soul.

He was made of all things complicated,
and though I couldn’t make sense was
drawn deeper still into the roaring tide.

Perhaps love means to stand by one even
if they give us a thousand reasons not to.
And if that’s so, how beautifully blind we
become so as to ignore their faults-

I close the window on doubt and set foot
on a path to new beginnings.
