When the clouds came to meet me,
I greeted them with blooms.
Grey veils pressed against my horizon,
heavy with silence,
Yet each petal I offered was a small defiance
-a whisper of colour against the blues.
The storm lingered, but its weight thinned,
like sorrow dissolving into memory
Hope did not arrive as lightning,
but as a steady clearing:
a sky learning to breathe again,
a heart relearning its rhythm.

Reena you reframe sorrow – not a battle to be won, but as a gentle, patient process of thawing – beautiful 💜
