Hey readers! This week's poem is clear cut: winter is more prominent than ever. I thought of all the emotions this weather could bring out in people; some simply don't care for it at all! I even incorporated my own feelings during this time of year, but it mostly serves as free flowing energy for this piece. I hope this spurs some pensive feeling within you or maybe some inspiration for something else. Always believe in yourself! I thank those who have continued their support in my writing. Stay kind to yourself and even kinder to your dreams.
It was so unclear
There were billows of haze
All coated in white
And then, it fell even more rapidly
It was so cold
The air frozen thickly
Clinging to all it touched
Some saw promise in this
Imaging their fortune mingling in
With the hope of their ever-growing dreams
Others saw uncertainty
The icy fogs making for unpromised
And unwilling clarity
Winter is tricky, indeed
She is neither giving nor taking
Or she is giving and taking
No matter which suits you,
She is present and complex
At night, seemingly unseen
The fresh rain waters are frozen
Leaving one to wonder, 'what now?'
During daytime, snow coats over all things
Moving and unmoving the same
The children seem to forget such worries
Making snow angels or seeking warm hot chocolates
And then, this reminds us of winter's child-like wonder
Sometimes, our hearts melt to the prospect of being careless
Like a child in winter
Maybe, just maybe
We, too, have our moments where the snow
Gives us a least a few moments of solitude
Take it as you please
As for me, the snow's trail
Is comfort and anxiety
I feel safe in warm thoughts of
What is waiting under the chill once it has thawed?
But, it is also worry;
Will the pasture be green as it had been in my dreams?
She is complex
Comfort
Confusion
Among it all, please
Take some comfort in words of these:
The cold only lasts for a little bit
Embers of will last forever
