The snow speaks in whispers,175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlRZqIAwen
a voice that softens edges,175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76lik70SrS
veiling the forest in its forgetting.
It falls without asking,175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP2HUGN48k
covering the evergreen's certainty,175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjUzpbXNLg
the bare oak's surrender,175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLGNKdhfJi
binding opposites into stillness.
The cabin waits,175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wKs7uXWTi
its walls marked by time’s quiet hand.175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSmNJtheS7
Not decay, but patience,175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyjLo3JoTh
a season of pause,175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF5c2h4414
where even the trees175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J4uDqjqt1
lean into their own silence,175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYimUPN5oNB
roots dreaming of a thaw175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONvjTS1UMZ
they cannot rush.
What does it mean175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteMeTNKGt0
to endure the winter?
The evergreen holds fast,175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAoUCLj0Jd
a hymn to permanence,175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPsVHgsSzH
while others bend,175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ77xHPQOx
branches stripped175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQjQiT6pOB
to the shape of trust,175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFVNnWS7OO
their promise buried deep in the roots.
The forest waits,175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwgOEc2m9N
the earth waits,175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTwiQMXeiN
turning inward,175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXvpIn8Ckm
gathering itself175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZZMIZhtYL
for what comes next.
The snow, indifferent,175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufZxyPDIyJ
wraps all in its fleeting truth:175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudTYi84pH1
to survive the winter175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOxclq1uOI
is to surrender to it,175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn1bQ6XPy4
to let what falls175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswAe7Gkjsv
cover you,175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKM0ygC2rH
and to know,175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdZvWdSeHi
whether leafless or green,175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkQbbrBC03
