Then I met you
My world has never been more clear
Joy has replaced the fear
Overwhelmed with possibilities
Spinning out, where you left me
I have a hard time letting go
Something I want you to know
Summertime strawberries, picked so sweet
Worth the burns I got out in the heat
Round and round in circles, will we ever land?
The difference you make, too great to understand
Did we deserve this?
Will it all have been worth it?
When I walk away

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.

I wrote this piece for the inverse challenge. It is intended to be read from top to bottom, as well as in reverse from bottom to top.
Wow, this poem was short but nothing short of a rollercoaster of emotions!
