Winter is a held breath,
a season gathering its strength.
Beneath the soil,
roots wait for their moment.
When green returns,
it arrives as if from nowhere,
reminding us that every pause
is simply a doorway
to what comes next.

Cryptic this is a beautiful dive into the metaphysical a metaphor for all life and change that breaths in its waves of respiration, its inhale and exhale and the pauses in-between that do not signal an end but merely a new beginning in the endless cycle. Brief but merely a signal of what is yet to come. This poem encapsulates in its words that pause.
The brevity of it is what stirs the soul, in my humble opinion. Thank you so much dearest friend 🕊️🙏🏻
