Sunrise in the winter

Poetry

Sunrise in the winter by Bella

Sunrise in the winter feel bitter 
A cold that seeps into my bones 
Spine start to shiver 
I long to walk and sing along the flowing river 
But there’s places frozen over, dormant just beneath the surface

 
There’s lessons in the water,
I know I am the daughter 
The moon is my mother 
And the sun is my father 
Spirit don’t let me falter 
Fall to my knees at the altar

And I feel stagnant 
Ain’t it tragic 
Fighting against old habits 
Tryna find my balance 
On ice 
I call upon the healers 
My ancestral teachers 
Remind me to believe love
Will bring us back to life 

Early sunsets got me smoking every night
Numbs my body, it distracts me from my mind sometimes 
The darkness whispers that we are divine 
And it’s time for you to step into your light
My child
Remember who you are, the spark the root the heart
You are infinity and beyond 

There’s lessons in the water,
I know I am the daughter 
The moon is my mother 
And the sun is my father 
Spirit don’t let me falter 
I sit by your feet at the altar

Yet I feel stagnant 
Ain’t it tragic 
Fighting against old habits 
Tryna find my balance 
On ice 
I call upon the healers 
My ancestral teachers 
Remind me to believe love
Will bring us back to life
