Winter Time
Beneath the moon's pale gaze, winter whispers, In a world so still, where sorrow lingers. Snowflakes fall, each a silent, tearful sigh, Echoing the heart's cold, the empty sky. Trees stand bare, their branches like brittle bone, A landscape forlorn, forgotten, alone. Winter's chill seeps deep, a relentless thief, Stealing warmth, leaving in its wake, grief. Yet in this quiet sorrow, there lies a grace, A solemn beauty in this frozen place. For even in despair, hope's ember glows, Promising life beneath the ice and snows.

Inspirations Behind
As I penned “Winter Time,” I envisioned a world where winter’s chill mirrored the sorrow in our hearts. The stillness of the season, the bare trees, and the endless snow—each element became a metaphor for the feelings of loss and melancholy that often accompany life’s colder moments. Yet, amid this sorrowful landscape, I found a subtle beauty, a reminder that even in the bleakest times, there’s a quiet strength and a promise of renewal. This poem is my tribute to the silent, enduring hope that lives within each of us, especially during our coldest, most challenging winters.
