Winter's Song

In winter in summer spring or fall
,
Let me grow Deep, 
growing deep is all

Whether there be fruit or friend nearby

Solitary
As can be

In a storm of biting cold

Not a stir of a breath in the environs around

Except the sound of twigs falling
Dried and cracked from The winter's bound

Purpose or no

Sails full
 or flagging

Let me grow deeper and nearer to where
Hidden rivers bubble and well

Ever closer 

Gradual closer inching every day
Every year gaining but a yard
Hands reaching ever grasping
Forward, onwards
To the hidden secret of who You are
