I look around and see all is bare
There is a great stillness in the air
I take notice of the seemingly lifeless trees
Then I observe there is more than the eye sees
A quiet like no other sound
I listen and hear my heart pound
As my heart beats again, and again
Slowly I am drawn within
With eyes closed, each breath I take
I sink further into this deep lake
Suddenly I am overtaken by a wave
As emotions build, I feel that I will cave
In the midst of all this noise
I begin to hear a small voice
Do not fear
I am here
Through eyes and heart, let this river flow
Erected walls, must be laid low
As you reveal what must be done
I want to hide, I want to run
I cannot face these things that I must
However, in you I trust
With shears in hand, I welcome you
I will face all that I must do
Now I see the fullness of reason
Understanding in due season
The pruning must happen, in order to grow
I finally see, I finally know
These things in my heart you must purge
In order for this love to surge
With each limb that falls to the ground
I begin to hear a new sound
As the deafening silence starts to disappear
It is a sound full of joy that I hear
As my heart and my ears become more atune
Deeper and sweeter with you, I commune
Slowly and carefully I open my eyes
It is then that I realize
As my eyes adjust and thoughts rearrange
Awareness comes that seasons have changed
My ears calibrate to creation's hum
Winter has gone, Spring has come
