blue sky.

there were seemingly eternal blustery days.
of harsh winds. and gray skies.
when the ambiguous snow confused our eyes.
was it falling from the sky?
or flying from the ground?
regardless, we retreated to the places where we might find shelter.

but with the impermanence that forever characterizes the weather.
change is in the air.
in the blue skies that have returned.
in the sunlight.
growing steadily each day.
masked for so long by clouds.
now magnified in its new liberty.

and though the cold remains.
and will persist.
there is something tolerable.
and pleasant.
about these blue sky days.
something to be embraced.

time to be embraced.
time that is forever changing like the weather.
sending us to new places.
to new people.
to new moments.

soon, the season will have drastically shifted.
melting.
springtime.
awakening.
and this journey will also evolve with the coming of spring.

a land of winter beauty i must breathe in.
a land of winter beauty i must leave.

the earth resting quietly.
beneath blankets of white.
is whispering.
is beckoning.
come immerse yourself in me.
come join this rebirth.
