Start with a flourish
Obstacles drain and defeat
A bright light burns out
I am warm and strong
Providing refuge from fear
Take comfort in me
Suffer in comfort
Trapped in mundane everyday
Just go for the hike
Immense granite face
Unmovable foundation
My strength flows from you
Dreamt of love last night
Red-hued scenes of seduction
Love without restraint
Blacked out hotel room
Wake confused with mild panic
Slopes outside await
Ice-covered sidewalks
Melted snow frozen like glass
Skate to work today
Sideways driving snow
Stare out the window and sigh
When will spring arrive?
I discern failure
Yes I fail and gain from it
Failure drives knowledge
Shimmering turquoise
Dive through warm surface waters
Treasures lie below
