Hey readers!
I wanted to write something short about the change of seasons. Our first snow fall happened not too long ago, and it seems that autumn only visited us a short moment. While I love personifying, I do hope this piece brings hope during such a seasonal change. If you dislike or even love winter (or if snow is never seen for you at all!), may you be comforted nonetheless. Happy first snow fall!
As the snow fell, so did the spirit
Heavy and burdened with sorrow
There was nothing that could compare to how it chilled the heart
Mimicking every part of the frozen bits around
As the snow fell, so did the eyes
On the ground they gazed
Lingering too long and aching to see the sky
As the snow fell, so did the leaves
Never having the chance to fully embrace the transition
Of being red, gold, and yellow from green
No sliver of warmth in between
How it feels to see the winter in its welcoming glance
One moment, a flashing hope of something to come
But even if the winter isn't for everyone,
If it's spent within the cold chill
Or your winters are considered those under the hot sun
May it make you feel content
But only for a moment
May it make you feel eager for the change in season yet to come
The endless possibilities awaiting the present
Can still be beautiful if you let it
As the snow fell, so did
The hope that autumn would stick around
It was fleeting, and the greeting small
It made an appearance, and it promised to come back next year
But don't shy away from what the winter has to offer you
A chance to reflect on what you want for the new year
A chance to settle in all of what you did accomplish this year
The opportunity to freeze over everything that you no longer need in the warmer months
For those are the things, that like the snow, fell away from your heart
As the snow fell, so did the sadness
For only a brighter day is waiting for you to start
