like a tattered cloak that frays
once a complicated heart
has found a simpler way
something that is very real
a truth that I can touch
this feeling that I cling to now
and grasp tight in my clutch
it's all I ever wanted
I was just in the wrong place
as it is revealed to me
grace shines its loving face
depleting once a heavy load
now that weight has lifted
this path I chose is the right road
and I'm no longer drifting
I once held the winter's son
tightly in my grip
I fought hard, ne'er a battle won
that was the gist of it
it came too slow the letting go
and the soul I once laid bare
days of snow and bitter cold
on the trail that I blazed there
what stayed in a winter wonderland
now blossoms green with spring
the hourglass with shifting sand
sweet memories that it brings
I don't regret, I won't forget
in tissue packed away
the letting go of all that's left
as my summer comes to stay
