Stretching the limits,
I have come to admit,
You just grow tired of it.
The exhilaration you get,
Wears thin after a minute,
As you start getting used to it.
No longer feeling lit,
You see the same ole skit,
Forming a habit.
Chasing the rabbit,
You just gotta have it,
And go get some more.
Feeling tired and sore,
No more need to explore,
You sit in shame on the floor.
Pouring out your heart,
Is when you start,
Arising to your part.
You're really super smart,
Charting a new course,
No resistance of force.
Just love and remorse,
Learned lessons of course,
Getting back on the horse,
With boundaries to enforce.

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.
