Growth

Home, The past behind, Ahead we grow, Soul, body, mind. Home held high By cragged peaks, Built by the bereft Clemency, manifest At twilight's gloam We're called Beneath the clouds We call We seek as Auburn falls An owl's call Greets cold night air A lone wind howls The valley's song The starlit sky In mute reprise The final verse Erased by dawn A river runs Through trees stood tall With leaves of red That never fall Amidst the frost A flower blooms Each day it thaws With life renewed This home we found When all was lost Our hardened hearts Begin to thaw This home they built Despite the cost A place to call Our home amidst the frost
