Winter

Winter

A Poem by Brett Pritchard
"

We've all been here I'm sure. Hurt, alone, but ultimately safe. Until one day the ice melts and we face danger anew but joyously.

"

 

The winter descends

A welcoming embrace of cold and comfortable solitude

The summer beautiful though it was… Far too bright for me

Too much to be seen, too much to be felt, too much to hurt me

 

The cold warms me

The feeling is without joy, yet bountiful in the relief it offers

From here I see all clearly and true… But it can’t see me

I feel without feeling, bleed without bleeding, I live without breathing

 

The winter is long

During this time my heart freezes, it may never thaw but that’s fine

Frozen without a beat its safe… Unbreakable and solid

I’m not unhappy here, I’m content in this place, my sanctuary gladdens me

 

The cold won’t stay

One night I meet springs first beautiful flower, and begin to thaw suddenly

She melts my icy exterior with patience… Discovering me anew

Summer is here and I walk in the light, can this be……?
