Tamara Willems

freshness descending…

On this day to begin, 
let nothing vexing draw you in 
no feathers need 
ruffling
no disturbances to settle 
 
look up from the book you’ve 
disappeared into 
slip off your slippers, and instead 
slide into some boots 
 
outside the softest showering of  
snowflakes  
a near silent dusting of freshness 
descending 

don’t yet make a move 
stop here 

breathe  
this  
in 

then, without saying a word to anyone 
let yourself disappear completely 
walk just as quietly  
as the snow 
and watch how gently it 
falls 

beauty in the softest motion 

breathe in deeply as you go
filling your lungs with 
the muted light of new hope 

a brand new day
begins 
 
go gently my friends ♥

(or ya know, sit and binge the next thing on netflix whatever, I’m not your mother!)
