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!)
