Winter is often mistaken for an ending.
The frost arrives. The leaves fall. The rivers freeze. The world grows silent beneath snow and shadow...
Yet beneath winter's stillness lies something deeper: a season of revelation!
In What Winter Takes, each poem explores a different facet of the human experience through the imagery and symbolism of winter. For example-from the first awakening of First Frost to the quiet farewell of Last Snowfall, frozen rivers, bare trees, midnight storms, and winter birds become mirrors through which questions of identity, impermanence, resilience, meaning, and transformation are examined.
Philosophical yet slightly intimate, this collection invites readers into a landscape where beauty and loss coexist, where uncertainty becomes wisdom, and where the coldest season reveals what remains when everything unnecessary has fallen away.
