cold is reaching the bones
the shoulders stiffens
every cell of the body is deploying resistance
in order to survive another winter
wondering how to receive the cold
without resisting
and without allowing it to penetrate
the seed of spring
the core of life
the longing for beauty
the purpose of being
confusion settles silently
as autumn mists in the mind
wandering vulnerable through the fog
till light finds its way
may blessings reach
the new beginning
of yet another beautiful day
