A Journey Begins

The Final Day of the Winter Writing Sanctuary

Top Story - January 2025

The door opens,

the fresh artic wind

blown in from untraveled lands

caresses my cheek,

it's icy touch an invitation

to step forth.

The world before me

has been transformed.

What was once green

and half-living shades of

dormant brown and gray

are now a sheet of pure white,

a blank canvas,

clean and untouched.

Where I dare go,

beyond this threshold,

I will leave my footprints

and all will know by them,

I was here.
