“Realize that if a door closed, it’s because what was behind it wasn’t meant for you.”
― Mandy Hale
Flakes of beauty and castles of glass,
Trees caked with pristine powder
And the cold white blanket beneath –
Testify to the great inner turmoil
Plaguing the winter soul.
Like royalty is the world around
Elegant in its chaos, and
Gracefully fierce,
With stunning beauty in every crevice,
The leaves hosting seasonal guests;
Icicles possessing clarity of the highest order.
As the chilling cold washes over
Winter souls basking in
Worlds that arrive once a year,
Trudge through the falling snow and
Watch – as nature paves a path of her own.
Fate, do they welcome in
With a silent chuckle,
To believe everything happens for a reason –
And bid their time for
When acceptance shall embrace,
Their anxious winter souls.
So – let it snow,
let it snow,
let it snow.
I wanted to believe that in the end, the universe would take care of us, and we would end up exactly where we were meant to be.
― Julianne MacLean
Inspired by:

From December 2021 to May of next year, the months are specked with exams albeit, with breaks in between, but it might be a few months before I can get back online. However, I’ll try to pop back in every now and then, especially for Christmas! The posts for October, November and December have been scheduled beforehand.
As always, I appreciate your constant support and look forward to reading your posts as soon as I get back!


Lovely, as always! Be well!

Behind all the doors
means the entrance
that we
if you will
have to knock politely
not every door
that remains closed to us
will really
im here and now
new realization
bring for us
we are stardust
made of the same fabric
like all creatures
on mother earth
and that’s where we have arrived
the bad and the good
until the last gate opens for us
into nothing
behind the universe
