Left in Waiting
A heart's fire and the silence of absence
The master did not come
He left in the morning and night
He left with his head in his hands
He left me hanging from the pole
He left, saying that he would come soon
Seven days passed
Many people came and went
Some with tears
He left looking at my face
Today has passed
He left without hunger
Keeping the fire burning in my heart
I am the one who is coming

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.
