Seasons
come and go.
And, some
seem so quiet,
barely a season at all.
Fragments
float in the wind.
Mine,
they get away
as I come undone.
Reach out—
they disappear,
Be still—
let them return.
Come and go.
The heart grows heavy
when the sun is gone
far too long.
To linger in craving
only to be deprived.
Dark until light.
Come and go.
It’s not the season,
nor the weather
out there.
Not the cold
at my door,
nor the heat
in the air.
It is me—
seasons within.
I fall apart
to emerge again.
To come and go.

Dear Jo-Anne, 
Your poem is very deep, Hannah. There’s much food for thought here. The metaphor is a good one, and you presented it very well.

Even better on a second reading afresh – very poignant now the seasons are changing and spring’s on the way in Australia 🙂
Hope your winter went well and you’ve been coping okay with everything. ❤
