the seasons
they're changing
I feel
lighter
I've laid my burdens on the bank of the river
& burrowed my face into the depth of his embrace
the balance has tipped toward the sacredness of our vows
we have entered a new era
we have learned who we are under the pressures of life
family
community
seasons
work
pandemics
forks in the road
we have learned what it looks like to dig our roots deeper into the ground in search of water
when the winds are strong
& the heat is unbearable
we have become strong
I know this is not the only transition ahead of us but
I also know this is a precious one
no longer young adults
we are truly in the flower of our youth; the scent of it enchanting
we have been resilient
it is not yet the harvest
but it is a time when the work is lighter
and the bounty nigh
