The Sandman Cometh
Rest, Take this Pain Away
Soon my mind will fade
In this place where shadows grow
Lo, the time has come for buried dreams to leave the shade
Encrochached on days where sorrows flow
Nothing but rest can soothe this pain
Cradled in wool where comfort reigns
Eclectic dreams will stir my night until I wake and my soul bellows

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.
