This Season Doesn’t Come Every Year (A Poem)

This season doesn’t come every year

but it comes at the same time of the year

when it comes, and I know where it comes from

this fire that flares up in the midst of me.

Exhilarating, exhausting, hurtful

blessing, when I am the walking maelstrom

amongst the mostly oblivious, but

some can tell and sorrow, no–don’t sorrow.

Don’t sorrow, this tempest doesn’t own me,

only understand all my sensations

aren’t tethered to it out of season and

this season doesn’t come every year.

Hebrews 6:19 “Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast…”
