Must we learn this way?

The joy of the Junco hopping on top of the snow, is probably something I would always want to know How to feel it with the shift of the wind when I choose How to turn off the thoughts in my mind from bad news There is snow melting, it is dripping like a clock, making me think of time never stopped with a lock Must we be covered in winter with the purity of white, to learn how dark we make things, with actions not right?

Love what the last two lines infer. Enjoyed your poem! Luckily we can remember as children how to live for the moment and not as reactors to other issues.

Light and dark are opposites..Existing in the Same sphere time and reality, More to ponder Here and yonder, in a world of wonders Hi Heidi hope you are feeling better.'

Gosh, this is a deeply introspective and heartfelt write, dear Heidi.. You've described in a very insightful way how we can't turn off our mind to overthink or to feel the impact of negative news and also, how sometimes our own actions lead to the perish of happiness..It requires so much wisdom and philosophical depth to reach at this level of understanding, you've wonderfully knitted all these aspects so beautifully here..Truly meaningful and soulful..Sending many best wishes & light, love this
