Winter

“Winter” by Philip Dodson

Winter

Crunch crunch crunch
Across the icy field
Sinking into the soft snow below
The bite of the cruel wind

The sun glints off the crust
The deer sneaks through the forest
The robin’s red breast against the white
The chill of the cold

Yet here we are
Winter is another new beginning
The death that leads to life
Spring will come

Buds will bloom again
For now, enjoy now
The cold is beautiful
The ice is fresh
Winter wow, love it

It’s deadly

It’s contagious.

It spreads like crazy.

It gets everywhere.

It fills your mind.

It takes over.

It makes you ill.

It’s everywhere you look.

It will fill your every moment.

It will dominate all that you do.

It’s a virus.
.

.
It is FEAR.

Fear is the deadliest virus humans have ever had.

It’s caused untold misery, pain, suffering and death.

The alternative is consciousness and love.

Switch off the ‘matrix’…the collective mind.

Switch off your own mind.

We alone choose to be frightened and we can choose to love.
