Writings on the Sand
Part 2 — a poet’s message

An unfriendly wind picks up as the unusual winter set in, once a paradise of green and rich now has all frozen over in grey.
Fledgling of a heart of mine that is untrained in adversities and is adrift in uncertainties forages for refuge and remedies.
But the eternal threat of a gale now wanes with the hiemal halo when I found a message buried, locked in a fallow under the frost.
All their writings on the sand bloom in Camellias beside me, a void brimming with colours little left to echo any blues.
A hope planted somewhere now has taken root here. Unbeknownst to the poet, in their words, I survive and savour the world again.

This is my message of gratitude to every artist around me, here on Medium and outside, who has inspired and healed me with their art. I was fortunate to come across many great stories and enjoy a lot of new music in 2023, and I am only excited to keep discovering more this year.
Special thanks to 𝓓𝓲𝓪𝓷𝓪 𝓒 for making my poems a part of this wonderful space at Know Thyself, Heal Thyself.
