A Season of Stillness

A season of stillness,
is surrounding me.
The winter is setting in,
the days are darker,
and the wind is colder.
My instinct tells me,
to turn all the way in;
to isolate myself,
until it is all over.
But I am learning,
that the best way,
to deal with this,
season of stillness,
is to listen to God,
to find His whisper,
in the cold air outside,
in family and friends,
or in the quiet moments,
when I am reading inside.
The only way through,
the stillness surrounding me,
is to understand that God,
is speaking loudest,
when the world becomes,
completely silent!

The End of a Season

It is the end of summer,
and a season comes,
of learning to let go.
Of letting nature die,
slowly into the ground.
Leaves fall down,
and fungi clean nature,
of all its waste.
It is a time of harvest –
reaping what is good,
and storing it for the winter.
This season I must learn,
to accept the things,
I cannot control.
To allow myself,
to be ignorant of all,
that is still to come.
And understand,
that after the autumn,
and then the winter,
spring will come,
to bring a season of life,
once again.

Holding Snowflakes

The first snowflakes fall,
and my soul rises up,
to become one with the sky.
My arms spread wide,
like the wings of angels.
My joy overflows,
as I put my trust in you.
I rise and I fall,
as I am dancing on the wind,
and my heart surrenders,
to the beating of your love.
I wish, I understood,
how the wind blows,
in and out of this world.
I wish, I could hold on,
to each snowflake,
and hold it in my hands.
But only in complete surrender,
can my wings find the strength,
to take off and fly away.
Away to a place,
beyond this ice cold universe,
where your arms are waiting,
to welcome me home,
in paradise.
