Spring

Spring time is around the corner.
New life begins from nothing.
Longer days bring more warmth
from the sun and the promises
of a new tomorrow.
But traces of winter still poke through:
the bitter cold hasn’t left just yet.
Winter’s darkness still holds on
by sprinkling the last of its snow,
freezing the budding flowers trying
to emerge from the hardened ground.

Our darkness still lingers
and we’re both worn from this
bitter cold season of mistakes,
arguments and regrets.
Tired of fighting this biting cold,
struggling to say warm.

And then the sun shines through
and we remember why
we’ve been here all along.
Once the snow has melted
we can see how we’ve forgotten
the beauty of our love’s devotion.

As the seasons change the weather
from bitter cold to glowing warmth
we’re reminded darkness doesn’t last forever.
Traces of winter try to poke through
but the warmth of our love is too strong.
