Even in the dead of
a dark dreary winter
Life teems in
the garden of my heart
Bright yellow Winter Aconite
blooms off branches
dusted in snow
Blue sky mixes with
rain clouds, fog, and
a sun low in the sky
Light reflects within
the shadows of
sadness, sorrow,
anxiety
A tender, timid love
gently, bravely
warms the cold
edges AND
A mysterious enlightening
Buddha
shows me the way home
