Love Poem: Spring

Written by: Anna Wakefield

Spring

Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust,
The end of all we knew.
The death of all the love and trust, 
To be reborn anew.

Spring, rebirth, a phoenix, 
All symbols we have seen.
One step forward, not a trick
Fleeing from where I’ve been.

Who was I? It matters not,
What matters is where I go. 
Sure-footed now, giving all I have got
Can’t let the relief show.

The past is behind, and I don’t dare look back - 
Or else I may lose the way
One day at a time, my plan of attack,
I am stronger, or so they say.

What will I face? I’m excited to see
Despite all I’ve left behind.
The worst has now gone, I guarantee
No more will I be blind.

You’re by my side, that’s the difference this time
The reason I’m so sure - 
We've both had to hide, now there's you in your prime,
Two halves of something pure.
