Beyond the darkest dot...

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

The trees went barren, the wind howled like a distressed heron

The dry leaves took along with them, the thoughts 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 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.
