Blooming

The duality of the world's hemispheres

Today's poem explores the beautiful theme of changing seasons. It begins with the Northern Hemisphere's gentle arrival into spring, and transitions to the Southern Hemisphere's entrance into autumn. It captures nature's cyclical dance across the globe.

NORTHERN HEMISPHERE

Daffodils peek from bonnets of snow
Blinking awake from their frostbitten nap.
Trees stretch and yawn 
As warm breezes blow
Knocking off summer hats

I revel in
Smiling sunflowers,
Careworn chrysanthemums,
And charming camellias

A testament to
My inner blooming

As the black bear awakens
As the red fox arrives

A stirring deep inside calls me 
To a new beginning - 
That of my own awakening.

SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE

It’s not in the turning of the leaves 
That I notice it most
It’s how my body slows

How the inner urgency
Washes away
With the warm summer days

Leaving in its place
A calm knowing
A grounded connection 

I watch as the world's colour palette changes
Where lush greens and vibrant yellows thrived
Wet browns and muted greys reside

I gaze upon life's cycles
With an energy 
Of surrender
Of acceptance

For the clouds
Though dark and unmoving
Will clear

The flowers 
Though covered in snow
Shall bloom

Let go

Let nature,
Her frosty song sing
And in time
It shall be spring!
