for Daffodil Because how I was now seems to me not to be at all Entering winter here after the fall Survivor of it all I strive as I arrive today To remember in December who I am come what may At this late hour devouring now or never yet to see What forever never let me whatever that might be By heart or sheer foolhardiness my tardiness to flout Engage my curiosity assuage my raging doubt And try to figure out about how do I figure in Entering winter from the outside in So not resisting though insisting having come this far To not go down without a fight I see how right they are Who say live for today nor to delay or to begin Evolving solving from the inside out The riddle in the middle to make sense of it somehow By love is how I enter winter now Another dawn another eschaton has come and gone And then another one so I go on +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMXII
