The sun lies beyond the clouds

To sup of such sweet nectar  
Dilutes the venom instilled within  
Bringing a new palpitating rhythm  
To this body’s beating engine  
 
Walking naked circles in the intersection  
The point where these two paths meet  
Both heavily laden with footsteps and trampled  
Yet course stone brings callous to bare feet  
 
Let us beat down a new path  
Through the overgrowth of mystery  
And wander through the thickened foliage  
To the light which pierces through the shade of canopies  
 
Defrost the ice left from past years  
Shed your defenses  
Open your eyes  
And wipe your tears  
 
Though the future nights promise inevitable cold  
Inescapable loneliness and pain  
The fire inside remains hot  
And burns with a playful flame  
 
This magnetic attraction relaxes the tension  
No longer grinding teeth  
White knuckles alleviated by cool blue innocence  
Again the spread of wings  
 
I foresee the birdsong sang on Un-deaf ears  
As the stars shine in the rediscovered depths of space  
Feel the touch of desire  
And ponder the lines in my hands embrace  
 
We can watch the flora from previous seasons wither with pride  
Welcoming the new  
One with nature the seasons change  
And in the untraveled wilderness people do too  
 
From caterpillar to moth  
Progression is forever undone  
Evolution is change for the better  
So what will we become?        
 
What will tomorrow bring for us?  
I shed these nights like a tree and its leaves  
A temporarily barren skeletal mystery  
Awaiting to be renewed in the spring  
 
When it seems that darkness is the only thing around  
Remember, the sun lies just beyond the clouds
