what the water and wind cannot touch

Winter descends on the island forcefully now.
It does its best to drown that which cannot climb.
Then it aims to blow away all that is not anchored.

I feel winter in my soul.
A million aching winters which aim to test our resolve.
Time to hold fast to myself and shine like the sun.
For myself, for you, for everyone.

I think I will write that on my feet this winter. I need it.

That's a great idea! If we can make our own sun then the next few months wouldn't seem so loooooong. But just in case there's always the magic dawn lamps!
