Harder than life is the decision to live it.
I've never made it. Each time the sun rises I question it again.
The point? The goal? The end?
What's its meaning? What is meaning?
What's the purpose? What is purpose?
Every night. The wolves howl. So does my silent heart.
Hearts beat quietly so you should always doubt if they are- so I think.
I never made that decision. I would have lived in the valleys. Where I can't see sunrise.
Where I can forget that I never made the decision and have to live this life anyway because deep down I don't want it to end.....

The Ritual of Winter Challenge Winners
Welcome to the Winners Announcement for The Ritual of Winter challenge. This prompt focused on winter rituals and the meaning that settles into them over time. The top pieces stay grounded in ordinary acts and repeated routines, letting winter shape the work through pace, attention, and restraint.

Wow! Girl you've done this beautifully. Superb girl
Ohhh, I love this!! This is so beautiful, too true and so relatable!
Great job. I frequently wonder what the point is too until I look around. I see birds just going about their daily gathering of their food and flying, talking to their friends. I see all the crawling creatures living their day, very busy. I see deer wandering around and nibbling on the grass just very peacefully enjoying the day - doing what everyone needs to do. I guess eat drink, be merry, co-exist as part of the huge web of life, and be be kind ? 🤗
Sad, very sad, but beautifully written. Well done, T!
This is the hard truth. Not making a decision is still making a decision. Wonderful poem ✨
You write beautifully! 🙏🏾Hope you feel better soon!
