In Finding You

I am in need

For solace and reflection

So I wander slowly

In the forgotten library

Here, I find you

My winters muse

Hiding from me

Among the pages

I read the words

They lift my soul

And give me hope

Inner joy reigns

I put you down

And continue on

Looking for you

To carry me on

I look and look

Until I find,

The springs serenade

And my step is lightened

I can now leave

Because in finding you

My minds been renewed

And my heart is full
