Sorry I haven't been posting lately, I actually was just finishing my PhD in Clinical Psychology! Glad to say I passed my dissertation defense and now will be working to help those in need in new ways.
Empty bench watching the silent blue, Lake mirrors losses I cannot tell; Pines stand witness where absence grew, Grief ripples outward; endless, gentle swell.
Beneath the thorn’s silent vigil I stand, cradling this crimson remnant of bloom; a wrinkled hymn to seasons passed and endured, teaching my heart to gather strength from loss.
The sky pours quiet into the sea, A hush that keeps the whole world steady; Light rises where silence touches the deep, An unseen heart still holding everything ready.
Everything I take on my longer day hikes in winter! Weighs almost nothing, and gives lots of security and fun for the winter time! Much lighter in spring/summer though haha
The chalk sun dulls, trading its wide grin for the color of dust. Flowers draw back into the stone, hiding their petals from touch. A butterfly smears in mid-flutter, trapped between leaving and staying. The ground waits, to fold every bright mark into silence.
The day wore iron on its chest, Each hour a wound it would not confess. But fire still smolders through quiet snow, Not all warmth needs to show. The day ends.

Sometimes, our warmth is hidden, even from ourselves.
Snow whispers stories on the splintered frame, As if to mourn what shelter once became. Forgotten warmth beneath the frosted eaves, Echoes of refuge drift with falling leaves.
Sometimes what we need is a chance to reflect on the beauty surrounding us, not worry about the past or the future. It is easy to get stuck on the negatives, in fact, it is easy to only see the negatives.
