looking worse for wear
summer droughts and winter ice
then spring brings new life

looking worse for wear
summer droughts and winter ice
then spring brings new life

the stillness of night
human activities cease
those awake can hear

the dead of winter
amidst monochrome of brown
a splash of color

coming to the top
the backwaters of the mind
fallen memories

until the whole world
love enemies as ourselves
heaven remains far
