renewal

time crushes, demands 
more than it gives
harsh wind pulling
away from my source
too much not enough
left me hard, brittle
disconnected

the call was thin, almost 
too quiet to hear
come away

leaving snow
and static behind
to breathe, washed 
by steady rain
heart pores open
made supple once more



finding my place elbow to elbow with the other poets today

Beautiful description of the flux of life - seasons, feelings, thoughts. Everything begins again, & that's a comforting thought.

Time can't help it. It just is, and then it was, leaving us to heal from it. Love the crushing at the beginning, then the refreshing turn to healing. Beautiful.

a good poem to tell us we all have the same amount of time... It's always how we spend it isn't it.
