first of season

send your strength
swirling down on new woken head
words clear
and powerful on the wind
in this first of season
refresh my soul
take your place as joy of my heart
light your presence on my tears
streaming now in your closeness
tell me who you made me to be
your love
a child lost in your hands
alive in your majesty
remind me why it is
that my eyes cannot be torn away
from your being
resting now on my form
covering the landscape of my life
bringing me home once again
through my frozen winter

First of season.
I like it, renewal, life, spring, hope amid the winter of life, what inspired it?

it was inspired by the first snow of the season. seems so long ago at times. but it was a glimpse that one night watching the beauty of snow fall for the first time in months and seeing my wonder and joy of the first time i was aware of God's eyes on me.
