He came in the winter of my soul When my heart lie silent and still When the beauty of youthful summers had passed And life's hand held me clenched in it's bitter chill Many seasons my spirit lie dormant and frozen Awaiting the warmth only love could bring And then he arrived on the winds of fate Destiny brought forth her burst of Spring His gentleness fell like a fine dewy mist And bathed me in laughter,his words how they nourished And like a young seedling tended with care Resurrected again, I stregnthened and flourished Then when my petals regained vibrant blush He stood back and smiled, and heaved a deep sigh For the season of planting had come to it's end It was time for my gardner to bid his goodbye Oh how I miss this gardner of love Perhaps one day he shall see how I've grown I'm strong and thriving though winter's at hand Sustained on memories of love once shown Poetry by Kassanna copyright:2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------
