The notion that winter
is only as long
as one believes
it to be

Is the idea
that spring's
great song
can at any time
be released

But each season
must have its say
every moment
its own day

For we are growing
through this change
and rushing
will break
the wheel

So we must
endure the dark
with the lonely cold...

until the storm
brings us out
