Thawing Out

We are thawing out from From years of desensitization A collective melting An awakening from Heart space hibernation

And as winter stirs And darkness lifts Some of us don’t quite know What to do with the new light That peaks(/peeks) through old

Ancestral wounds Millennia in the making So we turn on one another Instead of within Take our grief out on each other

But, oh my sweet friends The ice is thawing and Spring is coming to Show us what needs healing

To kiss the cracks in our hearts With sunshine

To help us wash away our sorrows With April rains

To teach us how to mend the broken Petals of our own hearts

And only the future truly knows What springtime growing pains will hold

It will come when it comes

But, in this present place Right here, right now

This

This is a slow

calm
