slip-sliding away…..

Wet winter days have gone,
sun streaming through once more.

Bare branches –
once naked and alone,
now clothed –
in hues marking the start of rebirth,
as The One Who gives life
displays His inimitable power
bringing life after death,
light after darkness.

Take lessons from such signs:
while personal winters may have dampened your spirit,
rejuvenation is just around the corner.

All that you struggled with –
trial after trial,
weighing down an already-tired soul –
it, too, will come to an end.

Just like the caterpillar
that remains within its chrysalis for a period,
transformation was always underway.

And, as time brings a new season,
shed the attachments
that no longer serve your growth,
and emerge
more beautiful,
ready to float through life’s currents –
the good and the bad,
all part of the journey
to becoming
a better you.
