Meditation Poetry: The Coming Cold…

The Coming Cold…

After the heat

After the fire

Comes the release

The power has been harnessed

And now it imbues life

Deep into the earth

The storms are brewing

The freeze up, is on its way

But today it is golden

Today the sun throws
long chilly shadows
and the air is sweet

Outside becomes inside

And all the creatures prepare for the coming cold

I prepare too

I prepare for the journey within

The internal trek, without movement

Entering the vastness inside

It is time

As the leaves let go

So do I

and the cool North
welcomes the stillness
