Beyond the sheltered plot… there’s shade everywhere

I desired to make it happen So, for long hours I thought I worked and saw and analyzed Beyond the darkest dot. Then one day before spring came I formed the sheltered plot With the fresh new leaves and the spots of green I actualized my deepest thought. As the green grew deep and the swings did sweep I built on all my want When the first drops fell and the stream did swell I drew the larger font. Then came the fall, all harsh and small In wilderness I did wander As the trees went barren and land was laden I lost all the points that I did ponder. In the testing cold and bitter times No footprints did I see Time went by lost and forlorn… I almost breathed my last At that very breath, in the deepest frost, I saw the golden sea… I basked in its beauty A new life it gave, a new vision for me to see And somewhere deep down in life I felt innate tranquility. As the sea grew deep and prettier indeed I reflected on all that I squandered I knew now that it was a lot I knew now what I forgot I knew now that I was peace… I was what I always sought And so I desired, and so I thought And analyzed beyond the darkest dot Coz now I knew what I forgot… That spring would come after the frost.
