Spring

Love wanders in,
I open the windows
and let the sun shine in,

I water the flowers,
and see them bloom

love looks at me and smiles,
I feel its gaze warm my soul

and I smile,
because love flows through me,
as a friend, as a teacher, as a confidante, as a healer,
as a nourisher

love melts the meaningless buzz into a peaceful nothingness,
it turns the tick tock of a clock and transforms it into music,
it reaches into the expanse of night and bathes the stillness with the light of stars

***

Autumn

love lets me be,

love waits,

and love smiles,

love lets me seek the answers to the questions I create,
and still,
love flows

***

Winter

in the season of winter,
love offers hope

still, love shows magic
in each snowflake
comprising a winter,

love shines its light
on the play of individual snowflakes that create a winter,
on the magic of moments that create a season

**

Seasons melt into moments

Now, looking back, seasons melt to reveal individual moments
and whilst on the outskirts, the enormity of coming seasons seems unfamiliar,
I know love holds the window open,
with a smile, familiar and warm

and I, trusting in its safeness
wander in...

and let the sun shine

- on a mountain with someone I love, feeling the warmth together of the sun setting in winter
