The Seasons of Love

Posted by Terrence Johnson

The frozen calm of winter fossilizes our seed
The adolescent stages of our love
The passion rich soil giving us the sustenance we need
Oblivious to the events happening above

Soon we attempt to anchor our relationship
Through trust our roots embrace the earth
Into permanent freeze we may slip
If we fail to nurture our love's birth

The sun emerges from the cloudless sky
Awaking us from our winter slumber
We view the world through a bird's eye
Witnessing other flowers too countless to number

The melodies of spring appear to sing our song
Encapsulating our unbreakable bond
Time is our guide, progressing us along
The depth of our love growing fond

The relentless summer heat brings the potential of drought
Without preparations our love dies
There can be no wavering or doubt
Hidden in our roots is where our strength lies

Through the many obstacles we have faced
None was too great to deter us
Firmly in the ground our roots have been placed
Stronger than the sign of plus

Although the seasons will change and storms may arise
A flower will always survive if given the conditions to bloom
