A Tree in Winter

Oh let me be

A tree in winter,

That I may

Gracefully

Let go

Of that which

Was not meant

For me.

Oh let me be

A tree in winter

That I may

Have a faith

That ensures

You will find
Your way home

To me.

Everything

Will be

Crisp,

Clean,

In the spring,

I will rebuild.

And as always,

My life will stand
Extravagant and

Igniting

In the fall.

Just you wait,

Faithful roots,

Just you wait.
