The End of a Wait

The long wait has at last come to an end.
Winter has melted away and in its place
the first buds of Spring.

The light at the end of the tunnel
has broken out into day
and all is well at last.

All the pain and frustration
like the snow of Winter
has melted away.

Leaving the land of the soul
fertile once more for new growth
as Spring takes hold once more.

How long has it been those Winter nights
that never gave way to day.
Only dim flashes of light to light the way.

How long has it been fumbling in the darkness,
seeking a way out but not finding.
Until at last, clarity.

Peace now.
Nothing grows just yet.
In time, a garden once more.
