My Spring Begins

This is essentially the response piece to Everlasting Winter.

My days were so dark
They ran into each other
Nothing, no home
How I longed for a lover

The winter of my soul
I weathered it for so long
Forgotten, alone
Yet I had done no wrong

I turn away from past
To watch a new horizon
Beautiful, truly
Finally, life moves on

Eventually my sun rises
And so begins my thaw
At last, new me
My heart begins to call

There is now a future
A brightness missed before
My eyes, now open
My heart now free to soar

The icy shackles gone
Replaced with those of choice
My dawn, has broken
Spring is in perfect poise

To take my heart away
From my opression and pain
No longer, blood spills
Your love to remove my stain

Your heart is purity
His own formed from darkness
Your love, my thrills
I awaken to your sweet caress

You're my spring, my love
I forget my past existance
Because, of you
You replace the winter solstice

Happiness floods into me
Through my heart's own windows
Erasing, memories
A salve for those cruel blows

As if a river of joy runs
Through my mind, my soul
Like wind, through trees
my perceptions I remould

So now my spring begins
Winter is long past
Ice melts, rivers flow,
Fresh growth, no snow
Spring set to last
