Just as the seasons start anew
I am changing, too
With the wind I wander
As the world, I tend to ponder
Searching for myself
In everything else
Am I the sturdy tree or trickling stream?
Am I the proven fact or the hopeful dream?
I’ll let the world transform me
Let the hail batter, let the sun warm me
My tears will fall with the rain
Leaving clouded eyes empty again
I will grow with the trees, grow so high
Branches reaching for the sky
I stumble through the snow into spring
Into a new beginning
Hear the whispers of the grass
As I lie and let time pass
With rejoicing birds I’ll sing
Sitting still while the world is spinning
Shake the tethers from my skin
Cleanse my spirit of its sin
Drop the weights of life and soar free
Let the zephyrs carry me
With my faith I leap and fly
And watch the world go by
Author notes
I dunno... when I first starting writing it, it didn't rhyme at all, but then I noticed that it almost did... so I went back and made it rhyme. It was weird, kind of like it wanted to rhyme. Anyway, it just sort of spilled out of me, I think I could write more, but I decided to stop before it got worse. Enjoy!

I love this poem.
And I enjoyed reading it.
You are a very talented poet. -
It is very good imagery. My one suggestion is that you should work on rhyming. It doesn't follow all the way through. Nevertheless, it is a good poem and remember there is no such thing as a perfect poem.
