In the darkness of winter
find the light
inside your soul
offer it to those you meet
In the coldness of winter
find the warmth
in your heart
offer it to those you meet
for when you give
your light
and
warmth
you receive them
back
like a flame's
reflection on the window
In the bleakness of winter
find time
for yourself
for introspection
for rest
for renewal
a time
for inactivity
to see
the quietude
of nature
draw that calm
into yourself
Find joy
in simple things
a cup of tea
a crisp **** apple
warm wool socks
Curl up
by a cozy fire
to read
to plan
to dream
Take with you
a seed catalog
to hearten
a craft book
to inspire
a book of poetry
to find tranquility
When you've rested
Let your mind
create a space
of fertile ground
to later sow
Let your mind's hands
dip into the loam
smell its mellow
richness
Close your eyes
Let your mind
grow
whatever it is
you wish to cultivate
see its bright green
shoots
let them fill
your mind
with
freshness
Rejoice
in the anticipation
of spring!

Out of season for some, but the Southern Hemisphere is coming to this phase of the year and the Northern Hemisphere's winter held on a long time this year...so maybe not so much! :-)
