beauty in the barrenness
seasons stripped of life & color

feel the fear

acknowledge anger
deal with doubt as friend not foe

hold it close

examine it

beauty remains within

delicate hope

for season stripped
still in His grip
He's close in all

the aching

gems even here
in lands you didn't 

choose as dwellings

breathe & rest

move ever so slowly
"all works for good"

is the ending
