Your Spirit’s Winter
In the frosty time of year, we cocoon in our skin
Pores tightening in the chilly ether that blankets and folds about everything
We blush with a cool streak
The things around us do the same, lower their temperature with the season’s touch
The doorknob, the railing, the fur coat on that pup
The ground and the tree, the clothes on our backs
All play along in this cold symphony
Open wide your eyes, feel the coolness rush in to envelop the curves of those orbs
Feel the synchrony and harmony of the world in the simple lesson a shift on Earth’s axis holds
Life about us is now in a different swing
We conserve, we draw in, yet there awakens another way of being
The trees slow down, introspect
Readying themselves for action when the right day comes for them
Others will take in that brisk feeling, burst forth and play.
Inhale the chilled vapor, let it curl down your throat and stake claim in your lungs,
So your winter spirit awakens and rises up
Inside we have a landscape that cycles and renews
This is a time deep layers silently churn and make way for the new
It moves in resonation with the world and the objects within
Walk in the wind, upon the harsher ground
Still your soul, listen
How does your winter spirit want to be in this frosty season’s scene?
Now is the time for the cold to shine through you
