It’s been weeks since I’ve inhaled,
and felt alive.
The waning growing season
is less about endings, to me.
Stagnation and swelter
Have lifted.
It is far better to be busy.
Survival is an active process.
The depth of silent winter,
White and cozy,
Hasn’t any power to suppress
my spirit.
As the woolen, suffocating blanket of summer lifts,
I remember to be happy.
well said….
Thanks! It’s how I feel…summer is too inactive a time for me.
“As the woolen, suffocating blanket of summer lifts” -absolutely love this!
You are so very kind…I feel as though I am under a blanket all summer. Not my favorite season. 😉
Beautiful words and the images they evoke.
Thank-you…that pleases me. 😉
