Seasons Of Me

Poem By Holly Ann Kasper
2/10/20

Drawing out,
              I feel convinced. 
My heart unwound;
              my soul at rest.

I see myself
              without compare.

My blessings swell
              and echo truth.

My thoughts reflect
              a love gone wild;
              a depth of peace;
              eyes of a child.

When fall begins
              I’ll feel more truth,
                             in stark contrast
                             to the summer light.
              My roots dig deep.
              I recoil;
                             Retreat.

I am still here;
              in winter’s cold.
I find myself bare.
My heart burns red.

I slow.
              I ponder.
              I purge.
              I pray.
              My Needs;
                             My flaws;
                                           My thoughts aglow.
              Ablaze, they burn today.

I cycle through;
              Surrender all.
My masks all fade.
              My strength renews.

I shift.
              I sew.
              I reap.
              I break away.
The lies exposed;
              my strength gives way.

I feel my power
              through what seems weak.

To struggle;
              to grow;
                             to light
                                           I speak…
