The Season I Smile Again

Now the sunlight on the table

Feels like more than simple light

It feels like a quiet answer

To the battles of my mind

And the little things I once ignored

Now return like faithful friends

Morning birds and warmer coffee

And the peace that slowly mends

I have learned that joy is not a mountain

You must climb in one brave leap

Sometimes joy is just a window

Letting hope come in softly

This is the season I smile again

After the dark, after the rain

After the nights that felt too long

I found a softer song

This is the season I rise again

With open hands, with healing breath

I am not who fear once said I was

I am growing into love

To the version of me that almost gave up

I am holding you now with light

You were never too broken for beauty

You were only tired from the fight

And the heart that cracked in silence

Still remembered how to bloom

Even shattered pieces glisten

When they are touched by truth

This is the season I smile again

After the dark, after the rain

After the nights that felt too long

I found a softer song

This is the season I rise again

With open hands, with healing breath

I am not who fear once said I was

I am growing into love

So if you are in your winter

Please believe the cold will move

There is spring inside your spirit

Waiting for the light to prove

That the soul can be reborn

Without losing what it knew

And one day you will smile again

In a season made for you
