Revelations On A Newfound Spring

[ALago1]

How this life ceased to appear
A tragic river of God's tears
As I enforced my bodied charm
To tend to treasures in your arms!

I embrace thee precious springtime,
For this winter bore me harm.

How past lonely scourge of evening
Brought by unrequited feeling
Of a lover on the run
was purged from me this morning sun!

You reward me precious springtime,
Thus your call shall not be shunned.

How your bounty versed in beauty
Grabbed my gaze and whispered truly
Of what-is and what shall be
When veils of Self are lifted free!

You inform me precious springtime,
Of my Self and of my Me.

How your scented blooming trees
Fueled by those recently deceased
Affirms there really is no death
After a man's last labored breath!

You attune me precious springtime,
Now I hear life's secrets kept.

How the sunlight 'top the seas
Reveals horizons I perceive
To be reminders of the truth
That all is one and all goes on!

With you always I'll be springtime,
Don't forget me when you've gone.

1. You wouldn't happen to be into eastern philsophy, would you?

Cool poem.

[ALago1]

3. I'm familiar with it...

...however the big influence of this poem was from reading a lot of Whitman and Emerson. A lot of their thought is very similar to Eastern philosophy so I can understand why you would say that.
