winter on its way (a poem)
i sit inside a chilly autumn morning
a mug of cacao warms my hands
it warms my heart
the deer come to visit
and geese fly overhead
i listen to their huffs and honks
i remember my truth in nature
i remember my role in this ecosystem
the geese begin a long journey south
the deer prepare to stay
for soon the world will be quiet and still
asleep within a white winter
i do not migrate
i will remain here
through this season of death
i will rest and go inward
i will move slowly and be cold
honoring the animal of my body
the sounds of the planet
tell me it is time
i am the earth
and she is me
together we will respect
this sacred pause
and surrender to being
♡, fin
