Winter Is Here, Summer Somewhere, but You Will Find' Poetry Lovers' Everywhere
Paper Poetry Digest # 23, for the timeline of Jan 1 to Feb 11, 2022
What's up, people!
Although 42 days have already passed since we stepped into 2022, it seems like yesterday. But, Yaa, the earth is still revolving, the pandemic scenario is evolving, and we still are absorbing the flavor of 2022.
Yesterday, after work, I was looking outside the window for some inspiration. But, it was a bit gloomy outside, a chilly winter afternoon (surprisingly, the temperature is only 3 degrees celsius, not that bad) with little light! And the moment triggered me to pick up the pen and write the following drops of words:
“lightless outside, snow-white shadow creeping inside in silenced cheer, a sigh for sun, or a silver moon-lit night!”
You know life moves on whether it's winter here or summer there. We adapt, we grow, we fail, we learn, and we evolve to adapt again. Hence, making the most out of it and contributing to the world can summon wonders.
If you are stuck with verbalizing it, speak through your poems. Your word means something to someone, don't undervalue its importance and impact on others.
My hopes and wishes are with you all on your elevations with the words.
