Spring, Winter
After all that’s said and done, I still love you: I love you as the crow flies east To find a new moon to hunt Or as a sparrow drifts south Looking for the new harvests.
I love you as the trees grow red In under Autumn’s waning gaze, as the flowers of spring shiver Under winter’s clinging frost.
I love you as the stars dance in the heavens As long summer nights slowly seep to Their end.
I love you like the snow loves to melt In the breeze over an open, pulsing fire. I love you with the terrible fever of A restless July evening, With the frost-bitten throng of an October toad’s call, With the open harrows of a looming spring Or the shaken embrace of a harsh winter.
