She blushed
As a rose
blossoms
when kissed
by the sun
Through darkness
We plummet
Fates entwined
Together we rise
Above the ashes
Welcome, strange winter. You took away our decadence in one fell swoop. The earth beneath us has fallen. We are but small and timid creatures floundering against the shifting sea. A cyclical force awakens us and brings about transformation. It’s time to surrender with humility. Please do not fear the unknown. We shall learn to adapt and love again. Learn to be present and compassionate, and most of all, kind. Enter an era of deep reflection but remember, the spring will come. Let us look up in bewilderment and find grace within the storm.
