The leaves have yet to settle,
yet the frost is in our bones.
Calling for a hibernation
we weren't yet prepare for.
Is it that simple?
To sing a heart to sleep?
Or will this undefined amount of time
be torture to our souls?
Slow is this process,
but our will is so quick.
Will we survive this wintersleep,
or will we never awake?
There's great healing to be had,
so many emotions to reconcile,
and so much, so much left to prove.
When we awake,
who will we be?
Our wintering has begun.
