winter palette

arqios

“winter palette“


Winter leans in
with a painter’s restraint,
lifting soft blues
from the frost’s first breath,
letting tree‑shadows sketch
silver across the ground.
Branches rise like quiet script,
each stroke a reminder
that pared‑back beauty
asks only to be seen.

    This is poetry my friend where imagery blends with metaphor and words cast shadows that in their coolness brings memories and something deeper from the past and inside the soul. Cold beauty to be looked at through glass in a warmer room. A fave

            My friend, this is beautifully observed…the soft blues, the silver shadows, the quiet script of branches. You let winter be spare without ever feeling empty. A lovely piece, Rik. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
