Season of Love

Barren branches, skyward stretched

Cold wind threading sunlight


Reaching to heaven longingly;

Ever yearning, missing me


Trembling joy, a bird alights

Heart’s lament when they part


Intermittent delight, a fool’s folly

Quiet emptiness, their delight?


Standing firm

Where’s my light


Steady feet, planted deep

What is this, my love to keep


Barren branches, await the spring

Love through my roots carries me
