Snowfall

Snowfall drifts softly in the quiet of dawn,
a whisper reminding me that some seasons are gone.
Each flake on my lashes dissolves like a sigh,
reminding my heart it's allowed to untie.

I release what once warmed me,
the love I outgrew,
not bitter, not broken, just honest and true.
The past settles gently in blankets of white,
a memory now fading in winter's soft light.

And ahead lies a landscape untouched and unknown,
a path without footprints, a world of my own.
The future invites me with calm, open air,
a promise of something new waiting for me there.

As I step through the snowfall, letting go of the ache,
trusting the beauty of each new choice I make.
For moving isn't losing, it's learning to see,
that the unknown can be gentle, and set my heart free.
