Silent Wait

source

I scattered my dreams

To the wild sky

I stand alone

Bereft of my joy

I wait for

The mercy of Spring

 

My roots are deep

Strong in faith

Ordeals can’t shake it

Let the snow fall

I wait for

The mercy of Spring

    I hope the long wait will end soon, Sumana, so you can fin'lly wear your little birds feet to hop & dance along for the coming of Spring. Smiles.

    Sometimes it is indeed true that time allows us to heal..and spring brings light and warmth even if it can't return things we have lost...beautiful piece

    Deciduous trees are so wise knowing that by denuding itself of its beautiful leaves and conserving its energy it will live another year.

    The spring will come but the waiting is hard, I long to walk barefoot in the grass...

    I love "I scattered my dreams to the wild sky." I can see you, Sumana, bereft of your joy, but strong in faith. The seeds you scattered will take root in others, because you inspire.
