Meant to Be

A season round the sun is born
As earth leans into Capricorn
When autumn days are marked and gone
And winter winds are coming on

The north is in its darkest days
Grabbing on to slanted rays
That cannot melt the winter snows
That linger as the north wind blows

Despite the harshness of the cold
December in its bosom holds
The secret beauty that will bloom
When earth beholds an April moon

The storms of winter all will pass
There is no darkness that will last
The seasons of the spinning earth
Each one unique as baby’s birth

For every turn a day goes by
For every moon a nighttime sky
There is a reason spinning free
For every season meant to be

This is pretty. Its strange how balanced our plantet actually is when you think about it.

Love is God. Love is war. Love is what your life is for.

If we can accept life as it's meant to be
we'll never miss the beauty of
or the ever changing seasons in our lives.

Your words are a gentle reminder.
Thank you~

Take care,
