The meaning of winter

Nathan stelly 1970 (Abbeville)



In winter's embrace, a tale unfolds,
Where nature's beauty, in stillness, beholds.
A season of whispers, a hushed symphony,
Winter's meaning, a profound mystery.

Beneath the snow, secrets lie in slumber,
A dormant world, awaiting its number.
A time for reflection, a chance to renew,
Winter's meaning, a rebirth in view.

The air, crisp and cold, a gentle reminder,
Of life's fragility, a fleeting timer.
Yet amidst the chill, a warmth can be found,
Winter's meaning, love's hearth, tightly bound.

The trees stand bare, stripped of their attire,
A lesson in letting go, a soul's desire.
For in shedding the old, new growth takes flight,
Winter's meaning, shedding darkness, embracing light.

The nights grow longer, the days shorter still,
A reminder to cherish, to savor each thrill.
For time, like snowflakes, melts away too fast,
Winter's meaning, moments cherished, meant to last.

And as the snowflakes dance, in graceful descent,
A reminder of life's delicate intent.
Each flake unique, yet part of a grand design,
Winter's meaning, unity in diversity, so fine.

So let us embrace this season's embrace,
Find solace in stillness, in winter's grace.
For within its depths, a meaning we'll find,
Winter's meaning, a journey of heart and mind.
